    He is the guest fighter on FNF fights tonight. I know Jones has a country accent, but his speech does not seem as sharp as it normally is. Maybe its just me.

    maybe there's just a change in your hearing pattern? Maybe you're just getting old ?

    No. He always talked like shit. A little bit into his stint as an HBO commentator, his speech improved a little bit when he started talking a little slower and stopped incessantly talking about himself for a brief while.

    LOOOOOL! i was wondering the same thing... but he changed it on the show i think someone told him to talk slower so he started out weird in the beginning but went back to his normal speech after a while! :bears:

    I actually brought this up about a month ago. Roy's speech is starting to slur. He should hang 'em up before he ends up like Meldrick Taylor.

    If Roy Jones started talking like Meldrick Taylor, his speech will have improved.

    What's bullshit? That I brought this up a month ago? I can find the thread if you want.

    Or that Roy's speech is starting to slur? All you gotta do is listen and you'll hear it.

    No bullshit here.

    Jones's speech has always sucked. When he tries to talk normal, like when he's on Cribs or when he's doing commentary, he sounds okay. When he's talking with his friends, he sounds like the idiot he is.

    Ok....so two people start two different threads a month apart about it. I guess that's just a coincidence.
