    SAD to REED...The Writer Used the Word "Genial", which APTLY Describes David Reid...it Also Makes it SAD to Learn he was Taken Advantage of Financially & is Dealing w/Mental Illness & Insecurities...Reid Should Be PROUD of the Droopy Left Eyelid, Considering what he was Able to Accomplish w/It...

    Right, it's like a battle scar. Something to be kinda proud of. It's fucked up how quickly he lost his money, but at least he's not homeless. I really hope he gets out of that crisis and get his ass to the gym and get involved in boxing training kids and stuff. Seems like he still loves the sport but got heartbroken by all the dirty business surrounding it.

    With all due respect to REED and Haymaker, don't take this wrong way fellas, but it's easy for yall to say Reid should wear his droopy eyelid proudly. Yall don't have to live it. He does. And I can understand how it would make him insecure. Society, as we all know, can be very cruel to anybody who has ANY type of glaring facial flaw/abnormality.

    However, the fact that it makes him sooooo insecure that he doesn't wanna leave his apartment, is a sign of mental illness (probably due to brain damage), and it's very sad.

    Tragic story really. Reid always seemed to me to be a genuinely good dude.
