Mayweather on 105.1 trying to read

[Masters01]

I would be surprised if Floyd ever goes back to talk to the Breakfast Club crew.

Another thing, dropping out of 9th grade doesn't excuse you from not being able to read. By 9th grade I was actually bored of reading, and subsequently dropped out after that year. I went back in to college 4 years later after passing my GED without studying, I felt I struggled while taking it, but actually got 3100 out of 4000 points (2250 is passing) which is equal to about 3.6-3.7 GPA. English is the second language I learned. Floyd is American, born and raised and only has to deal with English.

Floyd's reading sounds like he barely attended school, 9 years of schooling is way more than enough years to develop strong reading skills. To be fair, Floyd was probably 100% focused in boxing and that's probably the only thing his family supported him in.

Or (more likely) Floyd is just intellectually handicapped, otherwise known as dumb. Though they are contributory, its not really because of lack of effort, or family background, the guy is just a dope. We all knew this before anyway.

I made a joke about Floyd but I really don't care if he can or can't read.
He is a hell of a boxer..that's his gift.

I don't care if my auto mechanic can read. Just fix my damn car.
Don't care if plumber can read. Just fix the toilet.
Dont care if the female ****o star can read...just do your job.

It's more than doubled now but a lot of the posts are filled with racial stereotypes.

Hahaha you are so sensitive boy. I said that your family cant afford a plane ticket because you are clearly untravelled, and now you are going on and on about racial stereotypes. No one is buying your sob story.

Now grab your tissues and crawl back into your rat-hole in the sewers.

Dumb is actually some one who literally can not speak.

Like I said, 9 years of schooling is enough to develop strong reading skills. I won't insult Floyd anymore than that.

And yes of course family background matters, environment, neighborhood all matters. Why do you think most ********** from the "hood" all sound like Floyd when trying to read? And I am a minority from the "hood", so I speak from firsthand experience.

LOL I see you attended and graduated from the school of pedantry.

All those problems you speak about are your problems or problems of a demographic that you belong to. Handle them, as men. Dont use your shortcomings to excuse a fully grown man/father born in the West for not being able to read.

What age is 9th grade? that's like 13 years old in UK.

Floyd might have a problem like dyslexia or something.

With reading, a person can go anywhere in the world! They can never get lost because they can read and follow maps

People who can read can communicate with other nationalities arm simply with a dictionary that they can read.

They discover new things because they read books. They read and research to build on the good ideas

They can be president, or prime minister, an adventurer, or... anything they want to be. The possibilities are endless. Non-readers never experience these joys to the same extent.

They can teach their own children how to read and that is a source of endless joy for parents. Have you tried teaching your kids how to read?

Illiterate people are easier to manipulate and control. They cannot do their own research and thinking. They must rely on what they are told. Their emotions are easily swayed. This is one of the reasons why manipulative governments and dictators want their subjects uneducated.

An apparent graduate talking to a unrefined project-dweller. Two people operating on two very distant and distinct platforms, yet attempting to communicate. This would never work.

As he's scanning this, Larry is probably contemplating apple-bottom booties and/or cheese. Or fighting 50 cent, TI and Nelly.

I didn't think it would be that bad... my goodness

[LoadedWraps]

Meh. He's a professional boxer. Not a big deal.



Not surprising that a professional boxer who has spent 90% of his life training in a gym isn't the best reader/scholar.



I bet most college kids nowadays who actually study and read books every day can't even read or comprehend what they're reading

Good post, sadly I went to college and the second part is somewhat true as well.

Larry doesn't live in the projects, he's in College too as far as I'm aware. He's just a Floyd fan.
