    He stutters because he's trying too hard to be 'the bad guy'.

      even getting hit at 20% as is Floyds average, that is around 100 punches per fight.

      100 x38 = 3800 punches to the head, quite a bit. Then add in sparing, and you have yourself a case of chronic brain injury.

        yeah! if you can, it makes sense to get out of boxing before your 30.

          with his family I wouldn't be surprised if he started sparring at too young of an age.

            You are looking too much into it, for most people in order to be eloquent in the public affairs they need to be trained and I highly doubt Floyd took speech classes.
            He is not braindamaged(or else he would have a hard time maintaining his weight), he might have a slight ADHD, especially the way he acts, though.

            But A LOT of people have problems with concentration, short term memory and accounting themselves with what they are doing.

                This is a serious thread and not a joke. Does anyone else notice or find it strange that Floyd studders or bumbles his words up non stop when he gives a interview on ESPN or when he's a guest on FNF but never does that on 24/7 and some other things? 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?
                after you work out or fight it is common to stutter a little bit. thats all

                  He tends to say that even when he hasn't said it before.
