Muhammad Ali - Real or Fake?

Provenance: Was bought from what was one a premier auction house in Toronto in the 90s. 
I think it is real. Has all the right start/stops in the Ali signature. What first threw me off was the jagged M and the looped L, but I have found authentic examples displaying both characteristics. I also asked Shawn from ali autos to give his opinion and he believes it is authentic.
Wondering what you guys think!

I agree that the M is a little off but it could be due to it being signed at an angle. Real in my opinion

The rest of "Muhammad" looks spot on to me. Would you be comfortable purchasing this? I'm considering it at the moment.

Found this Steiner example that looks similar to the "Ali" here:

Depending on cost obviously I'd happily add to my collection if I was looking

I have no idea about boxing autographs, but what do you think the value is? This is a 16x20 black and white Liston/Ali photo. On eBay the cheapest one is like 1100 haha.
