And this is definitely my favorite. These are Jack Dempsey's fight worn gloves from the 1918 Fred Fulton fight. Fulton was the top contender to get a title fight with Jess Willard. Dempsey wasn't an unknown at the time, but he wasn't a top contender either. Dempsey knocked out Fulton in 18 seconds and it really added his name to the discussion on who should get the shot with Willard. A year later, he had the title.
Both gloves are inscribed in Dempsey's hand and come with fantastic provenance.
