    Joe Fraizer on the tonight show 11/27/92 was a great appearance. He had a lot of class as always. Also his props and games he played with him were fun to watch.

    Mike Tyson on the hangover was awesome, I like how he wasn’t just a big name for the movie but an actual part of it. It was a fun plot line and his acting really wasn’t bad at all.

    ANY Old George Foreman interview is sure to be a blast. He was extremely funny and charismatic, very odd to contrast with young Foreman. Its a little sad to see how often he discredits himself, some call it humble but I think he downplays himself quite a bit. This is probably my favorite interview of Foreman

    Listons appearance on “The Spot Show” was a great watch, really did good to show how good a dude he was. You could tell be was buddys with the interviewer, who tried to keep it professional as Liston cracks his jokes. Very good interview.

    All four of these men are a little different from how people see them.

    Joe Frazier could be quick witted.

    Mike Tyson is highly intelligent.

    Sonny Liston is surprisingly eloquent.

    I really like Bowe's TV appearances when he was champion. He was quick-witted and full of humour.

    Frazier comes off as really likable in that first clip. I had never seen that before.

    Foreman, as usual, is incredibly polished.

    I think I prefer Larry Holmes drop kicking Berbick from the top of that car.

    When Ali came in to a hearing to stop boxing being allowed in New York. He said when the panel asked him about him beating his opponents in all in the rounds he predicting and if boxing was fixed

    about boxing I say I'm the greatest and if he falls in five and he falls in five, that just makes me that much greater,” Clay added, as onlookers in the courtroom erupted in laughter. “Will it be a fix when Doug Jones falls in six?”

    When Cosell saying to Ali your being very truculent" and Ali replied "I don't know what truculent
    means but if that's good am that"

    Berto gives a very vivid and descriptive account of what it's like to share the ring with Floyd:

    Mosley, Thurman, and Donaire are all astute analysts and quite intelligent in interviews I've seen them in.
    Love this Pacquiao interview:

    This is more of a conversation than an interview but it's still a good watch:

    Love this short clip, especially the end with Baer, Galento and Lou Nova standing in the ring.

    Maxie acting like he’s been smoking the whacky tobaccy. Some reefer madness going on there methinks.

    Baer wearing some modern shades there too - probably to hide the tell tale “doped up” eyes. :lol:

    He's so likeable post Holmes 1. He has a cold and his voice breaks at the 14mins mark; it's hilarious. It's made more obvious as it follows Larry's rant about Marciano and the jock strap comment.

    Spinks interview.
