Says a 24 yr old that calls himself samourai Buhaaaaaaaaa lol ha .

you just made yourself look even more dumb with that comment. I bet you don't even know the context of his avatar right?

I'm a Pac fan, but I think that Floyd defended himself well here, and have made some wise comments about the mainstream's prejudice against people struggling with illiteracy.

Floyd's logic about illiteracy and intelligence is correct. They are not mutually exclusive. Illiteracy can result from social circumstances and not necessarily from a lack of intelligence.

I don't care if Floyd or anybody else is illiterate. Honesty and integrity comes from within, and literacy is not a required skill to show wisdom or compassion.

Perhaps at the twilight of his career, Floyd may finally be showing signs of maturity.

I'm with you there. I'm sure, most of these bashing May because of his inability to read, lead pathetic lives. They can't accept the fact that an illiterate like him (or for Pac who did not also finish elem for that matter) is earning much more than them.

By them, I'm referring to the likes of an arrogant idiot who goes by the name v. cassiusali who can read like a news anchor but makes not even a fraction of what that illiterate Mayweather earns.

One of those moments when it's embarrassing to have anything to do with boxing.

"Reading won't define my place in history"...

He could've just left it at... "I get paid to punch fighters in the face, not read. That's what my haters get paid to do. Read and gossip about me while unwittingly promoting my next fight. So, I'd like to thank my haters for keeping me relevant in their hearts and minds. They need hugs too."

Reading will not define your place in history.

Total refusal to fight the number 2 guy in your generation WILL define your place in history.

Want to know what people will think/say and how they will view you in 20 years time?

In that SHO video, Floyd couldn't do the whole promo in one take. After 20 seconds of reciting unnaturally, the video fades out!! Then it fades after another 20 seconds. Anyone can memorize for 20 seconds and he didn't even do that properly without glancing at the teleprompter. So the video proves nothing. Also, notice there are no outtakes. If we saw his unedited outtakes, then we would know how much he struggled....which he obviously did.

Floyd just needs to hire a damn tutor instead trying to fix his reading with video editing. Only his blind & ignorant fans are falling for this!
