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.

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 saw Rocky Marciano on the Groucho Marx show.
Funny as hell.
Marx did all the talking and Marciano just grinned and grinned.
