Whats better? Smartness in the ring or hardwork constantly?

I'm sorta comparing Hopkins vs. Calzaghe in a sense but this is a general question.

a mix of both. /end thread.

Ring smarts. Take floyd v hatton for example. Floyd had the much greater advantage in ring smarts and applied perfect tactics. Hatton was just chasing and chasing all round.

Yeah, both.

Calzaghe is extremely ring smart too. If people can't see this... you need spectacles.

Without seeing the poll results, I'm gonna vote for the first option, just to balance things up. I don't have to see the results to know that people will think "duh, yeah, Hopkins is way smarter than Calzaghe, I'll vote smartness! duhhhhh", but as I said, both are important. If you got smarts and relentless stamina and work rate, you can't really fail.

If there was a choice for both it would be there. Of course both combined would be great. Some of you guys need to use your brains.

Best to be a smart hard-worker, but there are more successful fighters in the 'take five shots to land one' mold than the clever lazy ass mold
