            Ken Norton- he's always a funny voice. but the last time I heard him speak he slurred a little.

            Evander Holyfield- I notice his slurring a few years ago. i almost cried. I just pray for the man now.

            Tommy Hearns-When he was on Ringside w/ Leonard that revealed alot about the toll the sport has taken on him.

            Aaron Pryor-I think his was more drugs than boxing.

            I'd like to see how fighters like Phillip Ndou, or Merqui Sosa( in the fights I've seen he took some helacious shots), or even Julio Caesar Chavez( haven't heard him speak) are doing now.
            Ken Norton's throat was injured in a car wreck I have heard.

              He was severly injured I have heard and they problems then arose. Isn't it strange that guys like LaMotta speak pretty clearly.

                  I believe Norton suffered head trauma in the crash, causing his speech problem. It was a motorcycle wreck.

                    I have to agree w/ who ever said Rocky Balboa. I think he actually liked taking punches to the head and now no one can understand him lol.
