The Knockout Collectibles: Top 10 Signed Memorabilia Options
#1 Muhammad Ali Memorabilia
Nicknamed “The Greatest,” Muhammad Ali remains one of the best boxers of all time. Ali was the first fighter to capture the heavyweight title thrice and was known for his social message of black pride and resistance to white domination. After retiring from boxing, Ali became the United Nations Messenger of Peace.
#2 Floyd Mayweather Jr Memorabilia
Considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters of all time, Floyd “Money” Mayweather was also the highest-paid athlete. Floyd Mayweather’s incredible unbeaten 50-0 record makes him the “Fighter of the Decade.”
#3 Mike Tyson Memorabilia
Reigned as the undisputed world heavyweight champion from 1987 to 1990, Mike Tyson was a great offensive striker and an excellent defensive fighter. Iron Mike Tyson’s aggressive boxing style made him the youngest to win a heavyweight title.
#4 Sugar Ray Leonard Memorabilia
The KO of the year (date: June 20, 1980) against Dave “Boy” Green is also Leonard’s most brutal knockout of his Hall of Fame career. His fights against Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, and Ayub Kalule will remain some of his best boxing performances in the ring.
#5 Oscar De La Hoya Memorabilia
Known as “The Golden Boy of boxing,” Oscar De La Hoya has over 130 fights to his name, with 10 boxing world titles in six different weight classes. Just as fierce as he was in the ring, De La Hoya continued with the same vigor after retirement, becoming a successful entrepreneur, artist, and philanthropist.
#6 George Foreman Memorabilia
Nicknamed “Big George,” people have forgotten how precise and devastating George Foreman was before his Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine. He was twice the world heavyweight champion during his boxing career and was a force to reckon with, dominating his opponents in the ring. “Rumble in the Jungle” (Big George Vs. the Mighty Ali) will remain one of the best feuds in boxing history.
#7 Roberto Durán Memorabilia
Earning the nickname “Hands of Stone,” Roberto Durán was an extremely versatile professional boxer known for his fights with Sugar Ray Leonard. After first defeating Leonard on June 20, 1980, Leonard claimed back his title on November 25, 1980, after Durán shocked the boxing world, quitting mid-way through the fight with the words “No mas!” (“No more!”).
#8 Joe Frazier Memorabilia
Nicknamed “Smokin’ Joe,” Frazier faced off against Muhammad Ali in three iconic fights, with the first bout won by Frazier after he landed his formidable left hand in the 15th round. Although Ali won the next two bouts, Frazier gave some of the best performances of his boxing career. Many people do not know that later on in life, Frazier revealed that he had a cataract in one eye, essentially making him a half-blind boxer.
#9 Manny Pacquiao Memorabilia
Known as the “Pac-Man,” Pacquiao has won more boxing titles in more weight classes than any other professional boxer. He was the star boxer in one of the most expensive fights in boxing history (Floyd Vs. Pacquiao).
For many boxing fans around the world, Manny’s rise from abject poverty to becoming one of the best fighters in the ring is an inspiration.
#10 Joe Louis Memorabilia
Regarded as a national hero, Joe Louis was the world’s heavyweight champion for 12 years straight until 1949. Also known as “brown bomber,” Louis was the only fighter in his division who successfully defended his title 25 times. His extreme accuracy made him one of the most feared fighters in the ring.
