    Agree with Shannon Briggs...saw him do a FNF once and was pleasantly suprised at how well he did as a commentator. He's "definitely" better than Lewis.

    Calzaghe speaks fairly well, even though he doesn't exactly come off like a Phd.

    Hopkins and Jones are both fairly intelligent, and although their grammar occasionally leaves something to be desired, I think their basic intelligence shines through.

    And something tells me the Klitschkos probably speak excellent Ukranian.

    Overall Haye seems to be the most articulate in terms of active boxers. Or maybe that accent of his is making me give him more credit that he is due...

          Chazz Witherspoon is well spoken, so is Edwin Valero and Shannon Briggs and Oscar de la Hoya of course!

              Thanks for posting the BJ Flores vid. I was surprised at how articulate he is.

              I think Haye's accent makes him seem more articulate than he really is.

                  Please name more.
                  Is Green still a boxer?

                    I'm not sure. He has bailed out of his last couple of fights. He was a guest commentator on ESPN last time I saw him.

                    Btw, I've heard lots about you. Someone thought I was you.
