I was watching some of the pre fight/post fight interviews Roy did for the Montel Griffin fight on youtube and I noticed how clear, lively and charismatic a younger Roy Jones jr was in his speeches. Then I watched a couple of his build up promotional speeches for the Roy Jones vs Calzaghe fight and the first thing that struck me is how Roy Jones just seems a shell of his former self, if you listen to him speaking he slurs his words and generally is slower in his speech, like it is a slight effort for him, the thinking process has slowed down. I was just wondering if the effects of all them 56 fights over the course of 18 or so years has had an effect on him mentally.
Don't get me wrong i am not trying to knock Roy Jones in anyway i think the bloke is a legend but it was just something i picked up on, he definitely doesn't sound the same as the young Roy once did, anyone else noticed this?
lol maybe I'm the one with the problem then :)
I thought he just seemed a bit different to his old self, maybe it is the fact that 10 years have passed :)

if hes not as lively and charismatic, did you ever think that maybe thats because hes 40 years old? i mean how many 40 years old go to a press conference and yell YA'LL ALREADY KNOWWWW THE CHAMP IS BACk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after the trinidad fight was pretty lively. i think hes trying to be more mature at press conferences.
