Large John L. Sullivan Placard
John L. Sullivan was born on October 15, 1858 in Roxbury, MA. He is the link between bare knuckles and glove fighting and is considered to be one of the best heavyweights ever. He held the undisputed World Heavyweight Boxing Championship for 10 years, winning it in 1882 from Paddy Ryan and losing it in 1892 to James J. Corbett. Other notable fighters he clashed with and defeated included Jake Kilrain, Charlie Mitchell and Dominic McCaffrey. Offered here is an early 20th Century photographic placard which pictures John L. Sullivan as he looked at the height of his career. This heavy, rigid, photo placard has a bold and clear image of Sullivan. There is some staining, edge and corner wear with minor corner chipping. 30" x 40." Rarely seen.
