. .Since early October, billboards in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan have shown President Reagan throwing a playful punch at the jaw of Muhammad Ali while Joe Frazier and Floyd Patterson look on. The words ‘’We’re voting for the man’’ accompany the scene.

The three former heavyweight champions have all endorsed the Republican Presidential ticket and the Reagan-Bush ‘84 committee is taking advantage of their support.
