If you are old enough, you may recall that Ali had a habit of carrying on a smear campaign against his upcoming opponents, well in advance of the fight. (This was mostly to make the opponent so angry that he couldn't see straight and to conjure publicity for the fight.) Most famously he actually made some ill-considered remarks about Joe Frazier that Frazier never got over, despite Ali's attempts to make amends. My thought is that that sign may relate to one of those pre-fight "insult" campaigns. Maybe Sonny Liston.
