Who is the smartest fighter? Actually I think the overall boxer is the smartest... Thats just my personal opinion. So I would definitely give it to
Winky Wright
Edit: I better put an emphasis on present fighters... I hate nostalgia fests
Mayweather and Hopkins are the smartest in the ring. these guys both know how to adjust in the ring and both know how to take their opponents out of their game plans.
that and neither one gets hit a lot.....
Pythagoras.
Greek mathematician, philosopher, and according to Diogenes Laertius:
"But Eratosthenes says, as Favorinus quotes him, in the eighth book of his Universal History, that this philosopher, of whom we are speaking, was the first man who ever practised boxing in a scientific manner, in the forty-eighth Olympiad . . . "

I would have to say the Klitschkos and then DaVarryl Williamson are the smartest fighters.
lol yeah i would name a lot of old fighters but he did say he just wants active fighters :p LOL Ray Robinson thats my hug nuts guy i pick him on all this who was the best at blah blah blah stuff :p
Oh!! Active fighters huh? Well they all seem kinda dumb anymore.
:cool: But ok...none come to mind.
As far as pure fighter smarts, Roberto Duran was a master. He is one of the few who actually made adjustments to his style as he aged. Very smart in the ring. Out slugged Davey Moore and out boxed Iran Barkley.

don't you think who is the smartest fighter is a bit of a oxymoron :p just playin ...as far as boxing wow .. .. .. i would say Hopkins in the last few years he just would find a way to win even if he didnt look good .... as far as life the Klitschko's are doctors and speak a few langs ..so i guess it's them ....
Floyd and Toney would be my picks.
It's impossible to say what makes a guy a smart fighter, he either is, or he isn't. James Toney is a smart fighter, but why? He just is. It's the way he fights that makes him smart. He's a great counter-puncher, he conserves movement, etc, etc. Floyd is great defensively, incredibly fast, accurate, and also doesn't do things that he doesn't need to do.
Not so smart fighters would be guys like Mayorga.
