There's a lot of different types of intelligence. Ali wasn't academically smart but he was quick-witted in a general conversational sense. You could also have someone who's well-read but not very intelligent in an IQ sense. You have people with high IQs who have little common sense. You have people who appear to be fools but are much more clever than people think. It's a very misunderstood subject I think.

I'm talking about book smart, not ring IQ or anything like that. Who are some smart boxers? Wlad, Vitali, and Joe Mesi come to mind.

juan diaz.............

Barrera's a law degree doesn't he?
And also Naz is a lot smarter than people think, don't know about qualifications (probably none) but he invested his money very wisely.

"clever boy"

muhammad ali was a smart, very down to earth person
he also popularized rap battling, which i will always be thankful for

Ali failed grades in school, and never did learn to read and write.

People who ruin their careers with too much partying and ******* are kind of dumb I think.

Ali knew how to read and write, he just never took school seriously, and chose to focus on his athletic abilities more. Who was the last person you have seen to be able to go through school without knowing how to read or write?

Richard Branson is an excellent example of someone not academically bright but very intelligent in other ways.
