    Hell no and I don't want it to get better. Half of my GGG fix comes from his post fight interviews.

      his english is appalling considering how long he's been in america. i think my GCSE french is better than his english. it leads to some funny quotes every now and then but trying to get any good info out of him is like pulling teeth

        As a foreigner, I can attest that you're 100% wrong. Learning a different language in your 30s = extremely difficult. He's right about where he should be considering he's been in the US for 4 years.

        You also have to realize that he tries to be both honest and political at the same time. It's very easy to say something ****** in those situations, even when you're a native speaker. He doesn't want to mess anything up so he keeps to the same phrases.

          You realize English is like the 5th language he speaks right? He's been living here since what, 2013-2014?

            it has improved... its not great but his learning language ability is probably better than 99% of NSB posters... considering this is like someone said his 4+ language and he is a fighter not an academic.

              lol exactly. It's more entertaining to hear him say "This is big drama show"
              Imagine if he starts speaking properly and say "This is a big dramatic show!"

                Yeah... But his balls hasn"t gotten any bigger.
                The problem isn't his speaking ability, The question is: Do lil g want to be great?

                    similarly Andre Ward needs to learn how to say "I want him next" not "I want him next... after 3 tune ups"
