Which boxers spoke/speak well?

The most articulate boxer in the last 25 years has to be Mesi. Even after the Jirov fight he was easy to understand and made valid points both negative and positive about his performance.

I don't know, I always feel like we're getting the used car salesman routine when Mesi speaks. He speaks well, but do you really believe a word he's saying?

I think Ali, Leonard, Foreman (he does commercials and is a minister), and Sergio Mora (very knowledgeable) are good speakers.

Hatton speaks well when I hear him

R Jones Jr. speaks very fluently, hence why he's now a commentor (and a pretty good one at that)

Brewster, Ali, and Lacy

Most U.K fighters speak proper english.
-Because Most of them suck. But agree and know what you're saying

Most U.S boxers nowadays speak slang that bad that you would think they never went to school.
-Because most of them didn't

Well said mate!...you made me laugh with that one.

But having said that, you don't need more than 5 or 6 years of primary school to know how to speak properly......or at least sound correct....

It is just that people for some reason think they are cool when they purposefully make mistakes in their speech.......eg. you was there man; he good, etc......every person out there knows that these are mistakes, but they still do it...

After watching interviews with Lacy I say is very well spoken. He doesn't studder alot and he doesn't refer to himself in the third person.

Exactly. Think of Marvin Hagler growing up on the mean streets of Newark, NJ in the ******s. Few fighters come up rougher, but he's always been a well spoken gentleman because he held himself to higher aspirations. I'm glad he's had some success in the Italian movie industry. They think he's a king over there and he's probably fluent in Italian by now too.
