I'm a new fan and I can't really tell the difference between these two things. Whats the difference between Ring IQ/intelligence and technical skill? What are some examples of a fighter that has one but lack the other?

Zab Judah has great skill, but pizz poor ring IQ -
Well to me its like this
kinda what the poster before me said
Zab has great skill, but below average IQ in the ring
Khan good skill, but isnt smart enough to hold on
you can be fast, powerful, great foot movement and combos
but if you arent smart enough to choose when and where to use your skills and
to set up your opponent in certain areas
then you cant really be effect as you really can beComment

Ring IQ = knowing what skills to apply in order to maximize your effectivenessOriginally posted by Nagabilly View Post
Skills = abilities
Tim Bradley showed good Ring IQ towards the end of the pacquiao fight. He figured out what to do to sweep the championship rounds.Comment

The outcome of "The Rumble in the Jungle" is one of the better examples of intelligence's triumph over skill. Ali outfoxes Foreman.Comment

No it isn't. Foreman had really crude skills. Ali had more skill and ring IQ.Originally posted by Panamaniac View Post
Foreman over Moorer is a better example, but that really came down to Moorer being ****** rather than Foreman outsmarting him.Last edited by Cardinal Buck; 08-28-2012, 05:11 PM.Comment

To me a fighters skill is his arsenal (e.g) Speed, movement, Combos, Counter punching abilities etc.
Now here are a few examples of Ring IQ. Ring experience (e.g) how many years under his belt.. how well can he capitalize on his rivals mistakes.. if his game plan is disrupted can he adjust to change? fighting his fight and not his opponents fight.
those are just a few that I can think of but i'm sure there's more.
