Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier “Window Taunt” (1971) Poster – Pyramid America

Introduction

Own an iconic image from the Fight of the Century, for the first time in poster size! This spectacular image comes from the lens of photographer John Shearer, who chronicled the epic 1971 battle of culture, politics, and sport through the lens of his Life Magazine camera. Muhammad Ali’s antics – including this one, when he arrived unannounced at Joe Frazier’s Philadelphia training gym to taunt and mock his upcoming opponent – made him the media favorite and a counterculture hero. But it was the more straight-laced Frazier who got the last laugh, knocking the champ to the mat in the 15th round of the March 8, 1971 bout, on his way to a unanimous decision and the World Heavyweight Championship. Whether you’re a fan of Ali, Frazier, the sport of boxing, or great black-and-white sports photography, this is a spectacular, rare addition to your wall and your collection!
