Did Floyd ever learn to read?

[lparm]

I remember fifty outed him for being illiterate. Did we ever hear anything about him getting an English language tutor or did he not bother at all. He’s done quite well for a lad that can’t read the contracts he signs.

- -He can tell you what a picture means and tie his shoes. He has underlings doing the hard stuff.

That was embarrassing.


Great fighter if not the best but damn he's dumb.

Did Einstein ever learn to comb his hair?

Did Van Gogh ever learn how not to be obscure in his lifetime?

Who cares?

A lot of athletes get by on their physical gifts alone.

Lucky them! No reason to hate them for their good fortune.

Even people who know how to read don't actually READ anymore.

Floyd is what they call "functionally illiterate" It means he cannot read or write beyond an extremely basic level. Luckily for him he dedicated himself to boxing where it doesn't matter.

So he can spell his name but he can’t read it back?

I'd trade my reading ability for floyds millions in a heartbeat.

With that kind of money, who the hell needs to know how to read?
