      I thought Corrales' performance last night was one of the smartest move I've ever witnessed. I give him so much credit for not losing his mental composure despite the two knockdowns.

      Smartest Fighters All Time for me:
      Dela Hoya
      Hopkins
      Leonard
      Ali

        No way ODLH scored 103 on IQ test when he was in high school. Sharp as a marble is more like it.

          yeah he was fighting klitschko. they were in the first round ( i think) then the power goes out. When the lights come back they start fighting each other, not boxing, just standing their throwing punches.

              Yeah, you always get the feeling that Bernard Hopkins know exactly what he is doing at all times. He is a ring general, good luck Jermain Taylor because your going to need alot of it.

                In the ring Toney is no doubt the smartest. Just everything he does, the way he paces himself, the way he baits his opponents, the way he picks his punches....everything.

                  Alot of smart fighters.

                  Currently.....I think Hopkins, Mayweather, and Wright are the smartest fighters. Like Jack and Mayweatherfan stressed, Hopkins capitalizes off mistakes by other fighters. He is a pugilist..much like Lennox was, in that he can change his style accordingly as the fight goes on. He determines how he will fight in the early rounds....and then adjusts his gameplan. He outboxed Joppy and Eastman, and stood toe to toe against Holmes, brawled with echols, and chased Hakkar's lame ass around the ring. You never know what you are going to get.

                  Mayweather is a genious in the ring IMO. He has the ability to dictate the pace of a fight better than anyone else in boxing. Nard may adapt....and be a pugilist....but Floyd never has to change his gameplan. His speed, and counterpunching allows him to unload whenever he wants. I know I have beat a dead horse in talking about the Mayweather V.S. Augustus/Burton fight....but If you watch it, you will understand what I am talking about. I am not saying Burton is a great opponent for him to have faced, but he is no slouch...and should be considered dangerous. Whenever Burton would unload shots...he would use the shoulder tuck technique and throw him off rythim. For every punch he made Burton miss....he landed two clean ones. The same can be said for the Corrales fight. He dictated the pace of the fight with his superior ring intelligence and gameplan allowing him to unload clean shots on Chico.

                  Wright is a defensive genious all around. It takes either braun (like Vargas and Vasquez showed) in order to beat him. He was relatively still learning the fight game at the time of his first loss, and was still learning when he faced Vargas. Right now....at this point in time...he is an incredible fighter. He does tend to fight on "auto-Pilot" like has been discussed before...because he is so crafty and smart in comparison to the run of the mill opponents he has been facing. And I have to laugh when I say that, considering Mosley was one of them.

                      Mayweather is not smart he just fights like a like *****. He is blessed with a remarkable ability of speed. He really is not that smart, he throws one punch and moves away or at the most 3 punches and uses his quick feet to move and away, and he keeps his hands way in front of his legs, and he is always at distance to back away from a punch. He just has natural ability and a conservative fighting style more than smartness.

                      He has has the same weakness as Roy Jones Jr. get him against the ropes, and let him try to dodge your punches with his head and aim for his chest you can KO him.
