Sugar Shane Mosley is on Punch Drunk Boulevard

[Mojita]

It breaks my heart to hear him speak (I just saw his ESPN interview earlier today). His speaking abilities are CLEARLY deteriorating.

This sport is so brutal.

Poor guy man, I hope he doesn't end up with any permanent damage.

way to try to lower Mosley. so Marg got owned by a punch drunk fighter? DAMN!

Bump.. this thread is crazy, Sugar Shane sounds fine. Its his haters coming back and trying to make it seem like he is damaged.

Not at all man, It would be ridiculous to say that Margarito did this to him or anything like that. I just honestly think he doesn't pronounce things the way he used to, and his speech is not as good as it was before.

I can honestly say I didnt notice anything bad in the way Mosley was talking. he sounds the same as he always did.

he's had a slur in his speech for quite a while now......but I dont think its that bad as some are makin' it to be.

Yep. Some people like to make something out of nothing. Margarito has taken much more punishment than Mosley. I think there should be more concern for his brain. Mosley hasn't taken that much punishment.

I really dont notice much. Shane has always sounded like that to me. If he's slurring it's very little. You wanna see punch drunk? James Toney is punch drunk.

My speech isn't perfect when I'm nervous.

I think he's just nervous. He's a boxer, not a TV personality- that is not his comfort zone.

yeah i'm a margarito fan but more importantly i'm a fan of THE SPORT. try wrapping your incredulous brain around that

you don't have to agree with me but drop the hidden agenda talk, everything i said about mosley was with the upmost respect - did you feel this thread has a "anti-mosley" undertone?

When you make a ridiculous statement like "Mosley sounds like Meldrick Taylor" the answer is YES. Have you heard Meldrick Taylor talk as opposed to Mosley? Obvious agenda here and very tranparent. Don't try to mask it with the "I'm concerned for Mosley" bull****.

[joseph5620]

Shane's flirting with disaster. Homeboy's got to call it a day now man. He's done.

Didn't look that way against your hero.

His voice sounds slightly thick,but it's something that comes with the territory for someone who's fought since a kid and has had a long career as a pro.

His speech is not great,but all things considered it could be a lot lot worse.
