    Who has more in ring skills and boxing IQ? Bernard Hopkins or Joe Calzahe?

    Taken from the last thread that got too big.

    Who is the smarter fighter? Who has a higher boxing IQ? In ring smarts..adjustment? Defense? Footwork?

    Keep in mind boxing is more than "punches"

          Hopkins overall is a better fighter than Calzaghe. His footwork, defense and in ring smarts are hard to match.

          Calzaghe's ability to adapt in the ring is impressive though.

              although the ability to put punches together and get off first is part of a boxing IQ, have to give this one to bhop

                that's awesome and all, but can you justify that opinion?

                    I agree with this.. I don't like the topic creator, he is a psycho-path and that is why he is on my ignore-list. He has some kind of hate for white fighters, then he blatantly lies and says no he likes Vitali, yet he makes topics attacking Calzaghe and Vitali on a daily-basis. Yet, he purposely attacks all white fighters. He is a ****ing utter ******, and he should be committed to a hospital before he hurts others or himself.
