Saw this interview with him today and his speech is all over the place, I don't think I've heard him stutter and slur his words this bad before. Its really hard to watch and I hope he's ok.

I think it’s just a speech impediment, although it does seem to be getting worse.

Hopefully, I've seen a lot of videos with him on the Mayweather youtube channel and he's never been anywhere this bad.

He seems ok but you don't have that many fights without having a bit of damage, it goes with the terroritory

Huh? He has never been overhyped has he?
Why do you say ‘at best’ as if there is any doubt? He was British Champion.

I was well disappointed in him against Darren Hamilton! Flattered to deceive that night. Pushed Garcia all the way in a close one when they fought though so he's deffo a bit of an enigma. He also had his moments against Broner as well before the stoppage.

Garcia was probably a career best performance, which is unusual given that it was a loss.
I don’t know him but he made the best career he could with the tools that he had.

Yeah without a doubt mate. Relocating over the pond was a brave move. That's why I couldn't believe he lost against Hamilton that night! I was maybe expecting a little too much from him that night

Yeah that was a strange one, I expected him to beat Hamilton at a canter. Perhaps he did too and just couldn't motivate himself to perform?

He just seemed to talk an awful lot about how great he was,and then lost to Hamilton who then lost to Woodhouse.
The whole Mayweather protégé thing`s a bit ridiculous too for a bang-average British level fighter

I don't get the thing about the way he talks. He's always talked like that. He puts it on. This is a guy who calls himself "hoodstar". Pretty much any interview I've seen of him over the years he's been consistently putting on that retarded speaking style.

More importantly than anything about his speech, isn’t his beard lovely and shiny!
