    No no.

    Guys, Mayweather didn't have that gravelly and more co**** tone in his voice until 5-6 years ago or so. It stayed quite constant but recently it's gotten worse.. there are subtle changes in his speech. He sounds similar but slightly worse than normal, and if you go back 10 years there was none of that in his voice - none of this "mild cold" sound.

    Manny is even more difficult to listen to though. He sounds like a idiot.

    He speaks English as a second language, and arguably speaks it better than Floyd. Floyd can barely string a proper sentence together :patsch

    You guys forget the past. Listen to him speak from 10 years ago and compare the tone of his voice from then to today. He's more gravelly and co**** now and that change occurred.. I dunno.. 5-7 years ago? It's hard to pinpoint exactly when, but it's worsening.

    You guys are only remembering "Money" May. It was pretty clean (his voice) and became more co**** (5-7 years ago) and it's becoming even more co****. He didn't always sound like this at all. He's had a nigh on 20-year career.

    I see that the word @rse is censored.

    Floyd is still thinking clearly, so I don't mean punch-drunk in that he's starting to sound like a bimbo, just that the tone of his voice is changing and he sometimes struggles to get his words out.

    I don't think that has to do with him being punch drunk, just older.

    Sokay, he should have plenty of money for the eventual nursing home, right?

    Sounds the same. He's probably the last boxer who will ever go punch drunk.
