    Lennox Lewis had a funny mixture of accents, but he was well spoken.
    Exactly what is your definition of an intellect, and I could pick any out from your list but I just think there's this misperception of Hoya being a genius(lol). The guy likes to play the role of "political correctness" but that has nothing to do w/ being an intellect(quite frankly I think the guy does a bad job of it, 'cause I see right through the b.s.). Now Foreman I don't think is an intellect either, but I like the guy the transformation he has gone through as a person... he seems real.

          I agree with you because he got a high IQ.

                Well said. I think he's confusing being nice/politically correct with being intelligent. I think it's (DLH's) nothing short of being a used car salesmen to be honest.

                And I respect Foreman, but at times he sounds like an idiot. He has some of the dumbest quotes and saying. I don't think he's bright by his speech, moreso by his actions. Anyone that can sell your name for $300 million is pretty smart.

                Brock might be a college graduate, but he sounded pretty ****** in that opening vignette a week or two ago against Ibragimov.

                Smart-Klitschkos, Lewis, Hopkins (he's a stubborn guy, but he's a genius nonetheless).

                Roy Jones Jr sounds like he's been having some coaching sessions with a speech pathologist. The way he over-articulates words scream that he's been coached.

                      Danny Williams is a good speaker, its why everyone still likes him regardless of how many times he fecks it up for himself.

                      If he got a gify tonight nobody would really have cared.
