Description: This book is signed by Ali plus 15 other boxers - some of the signatures are shown in the pictures. I had the book verbally appraised at the Antique Road Show when it was in Phoenix awhile back. He said it was worth between $3500 and $5000, and I am sure that it has gone up since then. I did not make the show as the person before me had $6500 worth of baseball cards and they took down the camera set-up and moved it elsewhere when he was finished. The book is "Facing Ali: The Opposition Weighs In" by Stephen Brunt. NOTE: I AM SELLING THIS WITH NO RETURN - I have had problems with valuable books being returned in unacceptable condition, and if it is not sold here I will sell it at an auction house. Verify all before buying. The book was given to a Sportswriter in the UK as a retirement present, and I purchased it from him. I do not remember his name. "Ali's own story has been told again and again, but the stories of those who faced him have, by and large, been ignored. For each, the moments alone with Ali changed their careers, changed their lives, and affected them for ever. In Facing Ali, Stephen Burnt talks to fifteen men from around the world, from famous name like Frazier, Bugner, Foreman, Cooper to local heroes like Hunsaker Blin and Coopman. Each man, many for the first time, tells his story in his own words!" This is an exceptional book and read.
