I’m a longtime boxing collector, specializing in 1960s heavyweights. Probably 75% of my collection focuses on Canadian contender George Chuvalo, who peaked at No. 2 in the world rankings and is the only man who fought the “holy trinity” of Muhammad Ali (twice), Joe Frazier and George Foreman. I have on-site posters from 40 of Chuvalo’s 97 bouts, including six of the nine he headlined at Madison Square Garden, as well as programs from 50 of his bouts, a dozen of his contracts and hundreds of wire photos. Tickets, media passes, cards and promotional issues round out the collection — but I’m always looking for more.
