Heard Ricky speaking about his new gym on BBC Radio Manchester this morning.

Not sure if he was still pissed from the night before, or if he had a cold or what.....but he didn't sound quite right....

Anybody else notice this?

Saw a video of him in his new gym. Sounds like he has a cold. He's probably mucking up his body with too much booze again.

im sure its the booze, you dont get punchy & slurred speech in 5 mins

No but you can through culmative damage and he spent more than five minutes in the ring during the last 20 years

He had a cold, had been up since around 4am and had travelled to London and back that day.

Thats why he lost to Pacman, the cold was laying dormant in his body a few weeks before it broke out. ;;-)

As much as I would like to believe this, there is no avoiding the fact that his voice has noticibly changed over the years (and tough fights).

Most definately. His speech is becoming affected by boxing, I've noticed it a lot recently.
