    Maybe I am way behind the times on this but I just saw a clip from a recent interview Mike Tyson did with Stephen A. Smith and Mike was noticeably slurring words. This is something I don't remember hearing previously. Have I just been hiding under a rock or is this a relatively new development?

    Have you got a link for that clip?.

    The last time I saw him interviewed he seemed OK.

    Maybe he was just stoned.

    I dont remember ever being able to fully understand him.

    And Toney? What to say about Toney, right? This one is different, though, it's not that I dont fully understand him, it's that I have no freaking clue about what the f he is saying when he talks. No clue.

    Tyson’s speech has been declining for a time. Still not terrible tho.

    Not concretely. But I recall it still being okay in The Hangover.
