As a person who also struggles with illiteracy I find his ability to overcome his problems and become a financial success inspiring.

This guys is an ****. Let me see, a professional radio personality is making fun of a boxer for not being able to read drops well? He then goes on to show how well he can do it? Duh, thats your job douchbag, I should hope you can fly through that and I am also sure you practiced it before going on air.
Why not get in a ring with him and watch him make fun of you for not being able to take punches to the face?
edit- Read more about Floyd in this thread and he seems like a real ass. So if radio guy was on him because he thinks Floyd is a real ass and not because he had a hard time reading a drop then its a bit different situation.
I'm sorry but, reading those drops would be doable by a 6th grader. It's basic English comprehension, he's not asking him to read a 1000 page dissertation on particle physics.
Props TZ!

No idea if he legitimately can't read or not, but if he can't, it's his own fault. He can obviously afford to pay for an education, if he wants it.

It didn't look to me like Floyd was trying to read it quickly. He kept restarting. It seemed like he was nervous and thought he had to say the full sentence perfectly. I mean there were times where he said 90% of the sentence and then started from the beginning. It was like he was treating it like a commercial or something. If you mess up, the director yells cut and you start again.
Doesn't mean he can't read. He could have just been nervous. Hell if you gave me a couple of sentences to read in front of millions of people and said "read this until you read it with absolutely no mistakes", I might end up looking like an illiterate hick as well.

He can read. The problem sounds like he can't get the words out right. Its probably because he has been boxing so long.
What I find hilarious is 50 cent. This guy is just straight clowning on floyd. LMAO.

Lol..the guy does press conferences and boxes in front of millions and you think he gets nervous reading on radio.
GTFO.
He can't read at an adult standard. Plain and simple.
Heck he can stop the whole thing by reading 1 page of Harry potter.

Floyd can't read? People just want a reason to hate on him because they are jealous of his money/fame.

LMAO. He brings the hate unto himself. He's earned the money and fame, but also the hate, at the very least. The guy is a serial unapologetic woman beater. He has a real Napoleon's complex.
There are lots of rich and famous folk that don't get the hate Floyd does b/c they don't deserve it.
People don't hate Donald Sterling because he's rich and fans wish they owned a team. C'mon now.

Haha..here is the problem.
I rate him and called him one of the best boxers I have ever seen and as a pacquiao fan I still have a feeling he would win(my heart says PAC.)
What he has done to promote himself. Great.
But why is it when you see a fault it someone rich and famous it's hating?
My problem is society will accept this being normal and fine as long as you make money. I don't.
As I said earlier and maybe I expect a lot. Reading and basic math should be a minimum for adults in developed worlds without disabilities.
What I don't want to see and what is happening with comments like yours is, kids growing up will think intelligence is unnecessary as long as you make money.
The thing is, what I think Floyd should do is admit he struggles and sponsor reading for kids with 50's money. That will be a great "p.r" move for him and great cause. But his ego won't let him.

On the topic on bringing him out by a radio station.
It was low..really low...
But he has gone lower so...meh.
I'd feel more sympathy if it was someone more humble

His defence is way too good...Floyd doesn't take repeated blows to the head.
