        Good point. The sparring can be eqally if not more responsible depending on how it's done. I have been told that sparring was a big part of the Quarry brothers demise along with the ring punishment. I'm sure some of that happened to Meldrick Taylor too.

            Gatti sounded fine to me. Not anything like a punch drunk fighter. I hope he stays like that.

              I agree. I don't think he sounds too punchy. But he does slur.

              Saad was a philly fighter as well. He took part in some legendary gymwars also.

                I think he slurs a bit. I could be wrong though as I said I'm not a native.

                  I can barely understand him.

                  Last time I heard him speak was when he was presenting a gift to Cotto at a Cotto-Gomez press conference.
                  Agreed. He's taken way too many hard shots upstairs, his mental cohesion is nearly non-existant. Remember him trying to outbox Mayweather? That alone showed he was punchdrunk. He should've gotten inside and stayed inside. Still little hope for a win, but he would've at least landed a few shots.
