    Jones is not punch drunk, I've been having trouble understanding what he's been talking about for 15 years, it's just the way he talks, he mumbles and talks real quick sometimes.

    As for the DLH thing, he's crazy.

          That's called having the accent of a black Southerner lol. Roy is'nt punchdrunk. Listen to Roger Mayweather for God sake. That's what fighting wars with guys like Chavez will do to you.

          Roy is the opposite of punchdrunk. He's sharp as a tack and his reflexes are still pretty damn good.

            Shane Mosley sounded a bit slow after his fight with Cotto, if you compare to when he was younger.

            Punch drunk syndrome is basically inevitable to some extent for all but the most iron chinned fighters. People forget that the constant sparring can make up for even minimal in-ring damage. Age of the fighter is the biggest correlate to speech degradation, just look at James Toney, a guy who rarely got hit in his career.

              I think because some people find him hard to understand, it sounds like he's punchdrunk to them. He talks like a dude who's from where he's from

              He's is'nt even that bad lol

                Shane Mosley has always talked like he had some sort of cold or something. Look at him on 24/7. I think he was just tired.

                  That's my take too. It's a deep South country thing.

                    Shane I think actually has taken plenty of big shots over the years. I would'nt call him "punchdrunk" but it's definitely had an affect on him. Think about the wars he's been in.

                    Yeah of course.

                    Believe me, it gets a lot thicker than Roy's accent lol.

                      Roy seems like dosen't talk as fast as he used to, but he's always had that accent that is hard to understand. I dont see any signs of Pugilistic Dimentia in Roy.
