    You always hear about punch-drunk boxers slurring their speech or sometimes in worse situations but who are the most articulate boxers out there today?

    For me, maybe De la Hoya and Barrera.

    Who do you think?

    Ray Mancini and Ray Leonard sound better than you'd think they would.

    I gotta say Froch is, considering what he's gone through in his career.

    Barrera is a qualified lawyer and Marquez has an accounting degree. That's serious stuff. Even for somebody who's not a pro boxer.

    Being a damn lawyer or an accountant and being ranked p4p is incredible.

    Usual childish responses on the forum.

    Paulie Malignaggi is very articulate.

    Antonio Tarver too.

    Roy Jones even though is slurring a little still sounds pretty coherent and his @nalysis during fights is very good.

    Andre Ward

    BHop even though 90% of it is blowing his own trumpet.

    Unfortunately, he's talking out his ass every time he opens his mouth.
