Top right looks like Evander Holyfield.
Top middle looks like Joe Frazier.
Top row, 2nd from right...maybe Rocky Marciano?
B: Chuck Wepner, no clue, Aaron Pryor, Mark Medal, Ali (in a tie?)
ckuck webner christy martin Aaron Pryor, Mark Medal, ??? thanks for help mybe we can guss the guy on bottom and next to Michael Spink
That said, I have a few revisions, so please feel free to chime in. Let's start at the top-left corner and go clockwise in a rectangular fashion:
TL: Larry Holmes
T, 2nd from the left: I thought a young Joe Louis, but I'm leaning toward Sugar Ray Robinson now (thanks to Jesse). But I still don't think it's cut and dry by any stretch. Take a look at these photos of SRR and JL and you guys decide:
T, 3rd from the left: I'm confident I figured this one out, and it's not Joe Frazier. I believe it to be Archie Moore:
T, 4th from the left: I took the safe, conventional approach and said Marciano, but my gut says it's someone else. I have another fighter on the tip of my tongue, but I can't seem to pull the trigger. Tapia was a strong stab, Jesse, but I'm just not sure. Again, input from others is desperately needed here. lol
TR: Michael Spinks
BR: This one is really perplexing. This pair of eyes sees quasi-Ali in a tie, which makes no sense whatsoever. I then contemplated a younger Don King prior to the days of him sticking his finger in a light socket, but I've since taken my brain elsewhere. Help a brother out!
B, 2nd from the right: I'll be completely honest, I had no idea who the hell Mark Medal was. If it weren't for completeds on eBay (as well as his sig), I still wouldn't.
B, 3rd from the right: Aaron Pryor has always had a distinctive look, hence no additional help was necessary.
B, 4th from the right: Good guess with St. John, Tabe, but I think Jesse is on it with Christy Martin:
BL: I knew who Chuck Wepner was, but I never would have recognized the face. Once again, I "cheated" via completed listings on eBay.
So here is what I tentatively have after the revisions, with the slam dunks in all caps:
T: LARRY HOLMES, Sugar Ray Robinson, ARCHIE MOORE, Rocky Marciano, MICHAEL SPINKS
B: CHUCK WEPNER, CHRISTY MARTIN, AARON PRYOR, MARK MEDAL, a dapper Muhammad Ali?!?
Okay, I just ran my leg and I'm officially unloading this baton forever, as I'm starting to experience hallucinogenic effects.
This was a fun challenge!
I would definitely say it's Christy.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
