In my opinion, Floyd Mayweather's opinion of Trump holds as much weight as Stephen Colbert's opinion of Trump.

So because Mayweather thinks for himself and does not go along with the black democrat group think he is brain damaged? Because someone is able to recognize that hard work is how you get ahead he is brain damaged? I actually think that liberalism is a mental disorder

Well mark me as disagreeing with you ol ATS pal. Did Stephen make sense? Not to me because he lost his mind a long time ago. Floyd spoke to black people, whom I happen to go to church with as a white guy. He said they could start a business and do something good with their lives to paraphrase and Colbare likes to tear down people. I hope you reconsider that opinion now that I put it that way. Cheers

Floyd is the most intelligent athlete on planet. Can't read? Come on stop it.
No. He seriously can't read. Being a high school dropout, and having parents who didn't really give a damn about him it's quite possible he has untreated dyslexia. Whatever the case is though, he can read the occasional word but he's in the functionally illiterate category.

To reach the heights he has and being arguably the greatest boxer of all time, takes an astounding level of talent AND intelligence. This is a once in a life time athlete we are talking about here. Not your regular Joe at the gym.
Your level of intelligence and intellect expand far beyond your reading capabilities, or lack thereof.

Having talent in a sport, doesn't mean you have additional insight into economics. In fact, it suggests you have less insight, because your time will be spent expanding your mind in your chosen field.

I hate to agree, but I have to do so. We all saw how woefully little insight in economics, policy, and military defense a person who had spent all their time expanding their mind in the field of community organization had recently... I can only assume it is similar with athletes.

Who cares what that illiterate woman beater has to say?
Well he's black and famous. Therefore, his opinion about Trump is automatically noteworthy according to Trump supporters.

How is the view from your high horse? I have a friend that has a JD in law, other friends with masters, bachelors, MD's PhD's you name it and most of my friends tell me I am smarter than they are. I am not being braggadocious just making the point that a degree or higher learning does not mean you are more intelligent than someone that does not have a degree. There are different levels and kinds of intelligence. There is a quote attributed to Albert Einstein--- " Everybody is a genius. But If You judge a Fish by Its ability to climb a tree, It will live Its whole life believing that It is stupid"

Like I said earlier in the thread, it's similar to the Trump dynamic. People like to assume he's an idiot based on his language and how he carries himself, but to reach the heights he has takes an undeniable level of intelligence. This is a fact, regardless of how people want to spin it to the contrary.
