A wacky and wonderful Wide World Photo from the early years of Muhammad Ali's epic career shows a youthful Ali writing a poem about his upcoming opponent Doug Jones with the prediction of a sixth round knockout for the March 13 1963 fight in New York City. Showing early signs of his prescience concerning his career arc he signed in blue Sharpie "Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay" and "Greatest of all time." He added a tiny drawn heart that appears roughly where it might be located on the shirtless youngster and then encircled the entire autograph and inscription with a larger somewhat less precise heart suggesting that as an artist he was a great boxer. The image is stamped with the vintage copyright information from Wide World Photos on the reverse and presents in an overall Ex-Mt condition tweaked only by the slightest 1/4-inch tear near the top of the photo that is only visible upon close inspection. Full LOA by PSA/DNA.
