Description

Inside the mind of a champion: “Boxing left our country no more real hungry men”

Handwritten notes on six sheets ranging in size from 6 x 6.5 to 8.5 x 11, no dates. Marciano’s fascinating musings, containing brief thoughts on a variety of subjects—from boxing to politics—as well as a sheet of word association. One sheet, in part: “Boxing left our country no more real hungry men or competitive young men.” Another, in part: “How much has your professor taken away from your long duty where the rewards greater than the sacrifices.” Other interesting words and phrases include: “determination to succeed,” “fighter,” “muscles,” “panic self destruction,” “puzzle: life, people,” and “mystery: death, girls.” Various creases and moderate to heavy staining to some sheets, otherwise overall very good condition. An incredible window into Marciano’s thoughts and ideas on an array of topics. Pre-certified Steve Grad/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
