Old Champs on TV

Ezzard · Post by **Ezzard** » 04 Dec 2007, 12:26

Does anyone know of interviews of old champs or just TV shows in which they appeared?

Many of the greats lived into the TV era. Are there any interviews with Johnson? Jeffries? Dempsey? Tunney? Louis? etc...? I'm not just interested in HW's either.

Plenty. I have interview clips of Tommy Ryan, Kid MCoy, Jeffries, Burns and others.

Don Dunphy and Kurt Gowdy had interview/fight showings
where the two fighters commented as their fight was shown and on breaks.

Sandy Saddler-Willie Pep (#3?)

Zale-Graziano III

and probably some others

I have Joe Walcott talking about his fight with Choynski and others.

THIS IS YOUR LIFE had Joe Louis.

Must have had some others.

I saw Rocky Marciano on the Groucho Marx show.

Funny as hell.

Marx did all the talking and Marciano just grinned and grinned.

Thanks for the replies. The Joe Walcott one must be pretty amazing. That's going right back....
