Which boxers spoke/speak well?

Muhammad Ali. Didn't he do public speaking during his exile? yeah he was articulate and everything but most of what he was saying was preconcieved before the speeches and interviews.

Danny Williams is a good speaker, its why everyone still likes him regardless of how many times he fecks it up for himself. If he got a gify tonight nobody would really have cared.

my boy tyson!!!!!!!! :D

Ali, period. :cool:

Well said. I think he's confusing being nice/politically correct with being intelligent. I think it's (DLH's) nothing short of being a used car salesmen to be honest. And I respect Foreman, but at times he sounds like an idiot. He has some of the dumbest quotes and saying. I don't think he's bright by his speech, moreso by his actions. Anyone that can sell your name for $300 million is pretty smart. Brock might be a college graduate, but he sounded pretty stupid in that opening vignette a week or two ago against Ibragimov. Smart-Klitschkos, Lewis, Hopkins (he's a stubborn guy, but he's a genius nonetheless). Roy Jones Jr sounds like he's been having some coaching sessions with a speech pathologist. The way he over-articulates words scream that he's been coached. Exactly what is your definition of an intellect, and I could pick any out from your list but I just think there's this misperception of Hoya being a genius(lol). The guy likes to play the role of "political correctness" but that has nothing to do w/ being an intellect(quite frankly I think the guy does a bad job of it, 'cause I see right through the b.s.). Now Foreman I don't think is an intellect either, but I like the guy the transformation he has gone through as a person... he seems real.

Tommy Morrison speaks good english way better than Roy Jones

has to be one of the best spoken /\ I agree with you because he got a high IQ. Nigel Benn is good too

has to be one of the best spoken /\

=======But having said that, you don't need more than 5 or 6 years of primary school to know how to speak properly......or at least sound correct....============== Exactly. Think of Marvin Hagler growing up on the mean streets of Newark, NJ in the ghettos. Few fighters come up rougher, but he's always been a well spoken gentleman because he held himself to higher aspirations. I'm glad he's had some success in the Italian movie industry. They think he's a king over there and he's probably fluent in Italian by now too.

After watching interviews with Lacy I say is very well spoken. He doesn't studder alot and he doesn't refer to himself in the third person.

Most U.K fighters speak proper english. -Because Most of them suck. But agree and know what you're saying Most U.S boxers nowadays speak slang that bad that you would think they never went to school. -Because most of them didn't Well said mate!...you made me laugh with that one. But having said that, you don't need more than 5 or 6 years of primary school to know how to speak properly......or at least sound correct.... It is just that people for some reason think they are cool when they purposefully make mistakes in their speech.......eg. you was there man; he good, etc......every person out there knows that these are mistakes, but they still do it...

Brewster, Ali, and Lacy

R Jones Jr. speaks very fluently, hence why he's now a commentor (and a pretty good one at that)

Hatton speaks well when I hear him

de la hoya

I think Ali, Leonard, Foreman (he does commercials and is a minister), and Sergio Mora (very knowledgeable) are good speakers.

The most articulate boxer in the last 25 years has to be Mesi. Even after the Jirov fight he was easy to understand and made valid points both negative and positive about his performance. I don't know, I always feel like we're getting the used car salesman routine when Mesi speaks. He speaks well, but do you really believe a word he's saying?
