Is Floyd Mayweather Jr an intelligent man?

[Junior G]

smart in the ring, dumb outside of it.

[steptwome]

Not your average "SCHOLAR", but he seems to cover all bases and appears to be pretty smart.

[The Hammer]

smart in the ring, dumb outside of it.

This is correct.

Does the old adage "a fool and his money soon go separate ways" apply to Floyd?

[Gorgeous George]

Only in the ring does he defeat everyone.

[Al Haymon]

Well, if I had to look at it objectively....

Floyd.... rose to the top of his profession. He makes millions doing something he loves. He has been consistently professional at his job for a long time. He is acknowledged to be one of the (if not "the") smartest fighters in the game. Never showed up fat or lazy or unprepared or got caught by some journeyman.

Carnivore....posts about Floyd.

I would have to say that Floyd has more intelligence. Objectively speaking.

Floyd has been dumb with money. Who among us doesn't have an aspect of our lives where we have been ******? But for the overwhelming part of what he does, he has been aces.

Donald ***** has declared bankruptcy twice. Does it mean he's ******?

Very rarely (or never) do you see a "******" top sportsman. You need at the very least "average intelligence" to rise to the top of any profession.

That is a big club. Floyd made some ****ty financial decisions. And continues to. So does Congress, Wall Street and The World Bank. 24 hours from now, Floyd will be in the black. Which, sadly, is more than I can say for the US economy.

Go fig.

there are different types of intelligence and while i don't think he's a genius (outside of the ring that is) i think he appears to be clever enough in an actual practical smarts sense

Agree with S.G.

I would think you need some level of intelligence to rise to the top of your craft while your dad is in jail and your mom is on drugs. The vast majority of those people are turning tricks for meth.
