Is it true that they were both left handed? I've heard conflicting stories, and I don't know what to believe. Were they both southpaws who learned to fight in a right handed stance? Are there any sources to confirm this?
I think Frazier was but I don't know about Tyson. Surely that would be why he uses his left hand so much more.
I read a quote from Frazier that he injured his left arm wrestling with a hog on his farm as a youngster, and as a result, his left arm was always in position to launch a left hook. But he never mentioned which hand he writes with

Smoke signs autographs with his right hand. http://www.life.com/image/90753854 These photographs are not reversed. Wrist watches are typically worn on the left arm, the same arm for everybody sporting a watch in these pictures, including Joe. http://www.substancecollectables.com/smokin_joe_frazier_signing
I believe Tyson was left handed. Not sure about Joe. Lovely photo Hydraulix. Both of them . Is the bunny yours ?
I write with my left hand though, but I wouldn't describe myself as left-handed. So the writing hand isn't always the best indication.
