Am I The Only One Who's Noticed Shane Mosley Seeming More Punch Drunk Lately?

[Mr. President]

I hope i'm mistaken, but in all of his recent interview's i'v noticed him starting to sound more and more incoherent and showing possible early signs of punch drunkeness. Anybody else notice this?

If this is the case....which i hope it's not, hopefully he has the brains to call it quits before he takes more punishment and reaches Joe Frazier status. The last thing i wanna see is a great fighter like Shane reach that point. A fight with the best P4P fighter on the planet isnt gonna help his case if that's what's going on.

Thoughts?

Punch drunk isnt a good sign. When Ali, normally a great talker showed signs of punch drunkeness when he was fighting, his ability wasnt there. You need your brain to be 100% when fighting because there is a lot of thought that goes on in fighting.
And if you are a bit punch drunk, you wont be able to perforom to your best. When evander started slurring slightly he wasnt the same fighter.
But i dont think SSM is too bad is he? I cant remember what he used to talk like

Nah - but I found it funny when the interviewer asked him his predictions "Hehehe" o_o

[KJB]

Yeah, Ive noticed that. The sad thing is, at his age, if its starting to show now its already too late. Hes going to have some problems, probably for the rest of his life. Any fights he has from here on out are only going to make it worse.

I saw your Avi, and sig and thought "is he really concerned? Or will he find a way to plug Floyd while he is on his soap box"?

I really did think you cared (maybe you do).

Back On Topic:

Shane has been in wars. It is sad, but it happens. I really don't think Shane will have anymore fights after Floyd, unless he can get one with Pac (only big money fights in other words).

There are ways around the condition though. He can take speech classes, it helped Evander alot. I don't see why it won't help Shane.

shane is old and shot it will show come may 1st.

I have Mosley winning the fight.

Lol, me neither.

Might help it not show as bad, but the brain damage is still gonna be there. Its not gonna get any better while he keeps fighting, either.

Mosley sounds like that from YEARS. He speaks better when not on pressure but if you check his Margarito press conference and interview right after, he sounded even more punch drunk.

I remember saying that, and all Margo fans came at me like "dont find excuses, Mosley is always like that". Now lets not find excuses for him again guys.

When this fight was not on sight everyone was saying why Floyd dont fight Mosley, hes scared. Now that the fight is on all of a sudden Mosley is punch drunk and floyd is fighting a paraplegic guy. Come on now, you know Mosley is gonna bring it.

Sure, hes gonna bring it. I dont doubt that. The man just sounds a bit... punchy.
