    Don't know, my mate sent me it on facebook. Pretty cool though. He sings on one of the links too.

    I'll try see if he's in the UK, but you'd imagine there would be more news about him if he was

    Yeah whats with the STV interview ?

    and he's right he would have minced Maricano and so long as Tyson didnt blow him away in the first couple of rounds he would have beaten him too.

    that's what I'm thinking. It looks like a one-on-one interview with STV, so I'm assuming he is over here.

    This is what made him the competitor that he was. The belief that he could handle anyone. The guy was I think legally blind in one eye when he fought Foreman in a rematch after getting beaten like a red-headed stepchild in the first fight. This is what Frazier was all about.

    well according to the Manilla documentary he stated that he lost it around 64-65.

    He didn't turn pro until August 65.

    I believe a fighter like Frazier could've beaten a prime Tyson because Mike was more comfortable fighting taller fighters. Seeing him fight a swarmer like Frazier would be interesting. I don't know how a Marciano/Frazier matchup would go.
