Floyd's Speaking Problems?

**-EX-** · 12-06-2007, 09:01 PM

24/7 maybe he feels more comfortable and can say whatever he wants. On TV he has to watch his words and has to answer direct questions.

he has always stumbled with his words in post-fight interviews and always done well in interviews from his home or gyms, etc. don't know why, maybe just super excited after a fight

He also seems a little uneducated and talks off topic when he's on ESPN. I was afraid that he may come across kind of dumb on DWTS but on that show he was just like he is on 24/7. He speaks very well and actually sounds very articulate. He has no problems and is very comfortable while he speaks fluidly.

Isnt that so strange? What do you guys think the difference is? Please dont tell me that the reason is because he's being fake on 24/7 because I dont buy that at all. He speaks fine even when he's talking about very serious things that you can tell he's being a 100% real about and is coming from his heart. Does anyone else notice the speech thing or just me?

Because on 24/7 he is being himself for the most part. Nobody is hassling him to answer questions. He goes at his own pace.

Does the cast on MTV's Real world have problems talking while in the house for several months? Same thing here.

Another example:

There is a difference between being backstage talking **** and being right in front of Larry Merchant answering questions.

Multiple takes vs live interview, duh.

I always thought Mayweather was pretty eloquent in interviews certainly not a ****in idiot by any stretch. Sometimes I mumble when I'm not really commited to what I'm saying, thinking 'should I say this', maybe it's the same kind of thing that Floyd has. Especially after fights he wants to say the 'right' things.

I find the stuttering and spacy "Boxer" glances a little odd considering Floyd hasn't taken the sort of damage that seems to cause these classic symptoms of ring wear..

Four words that come to Floyd's mind when doing an Interview:

Like I said before.......

Floyd speaks two languages: Ebonics and English.

spacy "Boxer" glances a little

maybe it's A.D.D?, there are forms of mild epilepsy that can cause you to go temporarily vacant.
