Help in identifying these 1970's-80's boxers autographs

Hi,

Recently came across and purchased these boxing gloves and am trying to identify the signatures.

I have 3 so far (and yes I need to identify if authentic or not)

Muhammad Ali

Alan Minter

David 'Boy' Green

If authentic I am guessing that they were acquired at some kind of charity event (Must research)

I have 14 photos in total showing 18 signatures (One very faint which I believe the last name is Watt)

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi David,

Fantastic, we have now identified the following:

Muhammad Ali

Alan Minter

David 'Boy' Green

Jim Watt

Maurice hope

NB: Every time someone comes up with a new name I will be re-listing all identified so far, this stops people wasting their time trying to identify those already identified (God I'm kind to you lot)

I have another name, Al "The Aldgate Tiger" Phillips who boxed in the 30's, 40's & 50's and who died in 1999.

This suggests that the gloves were signed at a charity events which Al Phillips was attending.

I have just noticed that the gloves (Size 12oz) are different although the signatures look to be written in the main (But not all) with the same pen.

Maybe the charity event was held at a boxing gym and an up and coming boxer had a pair of different gloves (Same oz)

Any thoughts on the names or comments above would be well received.
