I don't think it was. People were making fun of him on twitter after he posted it and he went full Larry and was challenging people to come fight him in the streets of Philly.

What percentage of boxingscene posters could read a page of Harry Potter live on the radio and not sound borderline illiterate. Less than 5% because I don't think I could do it

We know that
Floyd fans tend to carry many of his characteristics

Thats just how BHop is. He craves respect so he would stand up for himself even if it wasn't his mistake.

If you listen to him talk, hes one of the most eloquent fighters ever and he doesn't have a manager. Theres no way hes as dumb as Floyd

Not sure if your serious or trolling. We're talking about a book written for little children

WRU punctuation? If you are going to make fun of someone saying they are also illiterate please do your part~

Reactions to Floyd's reading level (or lack of) indicate so much about the demographics of this forum. First off, it is pathetic that Floyd is illiterate, but it is our problem, not his. What kind of a society are we that allow a person to go through school and remain illiterate?

Second, I have heard some here willing to trade literacy for Floyd's riches, that is ridicilous! Once you cannot decode at a certain age, you will never have the level of understanding that a person who properly developed that part of the brain will have regarding language use. In a word you will go through life with a set of blinders on. Sure you can improve but you never attain the level of understanding that a fully developed individual attains.

People that claim they would trade in a master's level of education for floyds gifts probably never did a masters.....I would never trade knowldege for status and its worth noting that the man with the highest recorded IQ in recent times was a bouncer and ranch hand.

Financial success always comes at a price. those of us in the know prefer to enrich in a manner that does not enrich the slaver masters. Floyd wprks for the IRS and for the people he has to trust due to his lack....people like Ellerbe who do know. These people will support Floyd only while he is relevant. Thst means that in about five years or so Floyd will have almost nothing because....YOU CAN NEVER REPLACE KNOWLDEGE....It is too valuable for compensation.

People like Larry Holmes and Grandpa Hopkins know this....it is why they learned the mechanics of the power structure and who to avoid. People like Tyson learned eventually and people like Floyd are clueless.

All Floyds riches belong to the IRS he will eventually give them back, just ask the Bastard maker Holyfield.

I take it you have never tried to read a children's book to a child when you never read outloud. That would be real kids books like under ten while Harry Potter is much more of an tween to early teen book in terms of level.

That is not even taking into account the pressure of doing it with the lights on, which would mess most people up right there even if they practiced.

How is anyone surprised by this at all, lots of Claude Rains up in this forum~

Seriously, I can't imagine not being able to read. I love reading so much, and it was never something forced upon me. Being able to read opens up so much of the world that you'd be ignorant of otherwise. Can you imagine the things the leeches around Floyd responsible for his finances get away with if he can't read and understand what he's signing?

I'd think someone who makes the money Mayweather does and loves to brag about his business acumen so often would have used that money to train himself to a more literate level.

If he were to make a video of himself reading at a perfectly normal level to show 50 Cent up, that would make me very happy. Reading is such an important element of society's evolution and the acquisition of knowledge. No amount of money matters so much as knowledge.
