Crown Jewel of Boxing History!!!
Ok eBayers I am listing for sale, what is considered to be the crown jewel of boxing memorabilia. Up for auction is a museum quality Rocky Marciano and Jersey Joe Walcott autographed piece. Included with the two near mint signatures and a replica promo print, fight ticket and fight poster as seen by the fans on September 23 1952 at this historic Municipal Stadium, Philadelphia Penn. Both these signatures are authentic and bold.
Some history about the piece:
As many of you out there know, Rocky Marciano was and is the greatest heavy weight champion of ALL TIME. He is the ONLY professional undefeated and undisputed heavy weight champion of the world. “The Brockton Blockbuster” had the most impressive record in professional boxing history, 49-0 with 43 knockouts. This piece was put together to honor the night he knocked out Jersey Joe to become the world champion. No one can argue his career is boxing’s most impressive achievements. This is a ONE OF A KIND. This is the crown jewel of my personal collection and it truly breaks my heart to know I have to part with it. There are only a handful of true Marciano pieces out there, and this one I think is the most unique of all. Not only are you getting Marciano’s auto your getting Joe Walcott’s as well to make this piece truly complete. Both pictures and signatures are in pristine condition considering their age, and the whole piece is just amazing. This should be hanging in a museum somewhere, instead it be hanging on your wall. Please feel free to make me an offer however I will not accept any Low Ball offers.
to retire undefeated and stay retired.

This amazing athlete was tragically killed in a plane crash in 1969. Could he have beaten Muhammad Ali if both were fighting at the same time in their prime, many say YES! Rocky Marciano was the toughest fighter to step into the ring hands down; He fought in the days before 16oz gloves, where men were men. He will be remembered for his grit and unrelenting determination to be the best in the world.
