Sturm vs Oscar ?

It is sad when the fighters are coming back at this age because they need the money and there is nothing else they know what to do to earn money.

If they had the IQ above a dead frog, they would have taken college classes while fighting. I dig how Juan Diaz, former Lightweight champ was studying law. But Juarez who fought Nonito Donaire had a law degree but still decided to be a punching bag rather than a lawyer. Go figure. But I've read about many fighters who studied in college because they know they needed an after-boxing career and went on to have nice jobs after boxing. There were 10 boxers I read recently who had careers after boxing. Just nnow read that Juan owns his own trucking company but at least he has a career after the sport.

Yep, some athletes exude intelligence, although not always through academics.
Steve Young, the former 49ers Super Bowl QB is a lawyer. In boxing, big old George Foreman showed his intelligence by reinventing himself as a personality as well as a resurgent heavyweight champion. He is one sharp cookie. Same with Mike Tyson. Don't be fooled by his earlier years and odd speaking manner. He's a smart and thoughtful guy.
