Floyd Mayweather isn’t the brightest man in the world and that showed during a pre-fight interview with a 7-year-old boy.

Floyd Mayweather just solidified himself as one of the greatest boxers of all time, if he hadn’t already, with Saturday night’s win over Manny Pacquiao, a unanimous decision.

Some people, like the delusional Skip Bayless, argued the fact that he won the fight, which seemed pretty obvious as Floyd landed 34 percent of his punches to Manny’s 19 percent, but Mayweather came out of it with a 48-0 record for his career.

Besides being one of the best to ever enter a boxing ring, Floyd is also known for not being the smartest guy out there. I don’t know if any of you remember, but instead of issuing the ALS ice bucket challenge to Mayweather, rapper 50 Cent challenged Floyd to read a couple sentences from a Harry Potter book.

The reason for this? He wanted to point out Floyd’s inability to comprehend big words.

During a pre-fight interview with a seven-year-old boy, Floyd Mayweather was asked some hard-hitting questions, including, “What is your favorite Ninja Turtle?”

Floyd’s answer was silly, but the kid out-smarting Mayweather was absolutely priceless.

The fact that the kid called Floyd out for not knowing anything about the Ninja Turtles is one thing, but he completely made the world champion boxer look foolish for not knowing anything about turtles. OK, so maybe Floyd knows that turtles are green, but the seven-year-old let him have it.

I would love to see Mayweather on an episode of celebrity edition Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?

Great stuff and we can all hope to have an interview as compelling as that one day.
