The Most Intelligent Boxer

[onikami]

Boxers are not renowned for their intelligence. We all know that. But does anyone know any boxers with impressive intellect?

For me, Chris Eubank was one who, despite the lisp, was a rather intelligent chap.

As far as boxing history goes and boxing in general Mike Tyson knows an unbelievable amount of stuff. Not all boxers do know lots about the past but he is one that does.

When Iron Mike is not talking about eating hearts and babies, in interviews he does show impressive knowledge and intellect. Must give him that.

Im impressed by the way he uses big words and understands them. What about the Kiltschkos. They're doctors and speak like 3 or 4 different languages

[onikami]

They can speak English, Ukranian, German and something else.

And Russian if im not mistaken, pluss doctor grade in sportsciense and proffessor grade in philosophy if ot mistaking again, i guess its pretty clear which boxers are the smartest.

Quite a few boxers are quite smart, and the ones that aren't are still taught a lot if they have the right trainers and managers. Cus made sure Tyson knew everything he needed to know about boxing history.

As for current fighters, Hopkins is a lot smarter than some people seem to give him credit for. Just cause he talks goofy people thinks he's dumb...fact it he's hilarious and a dumb guy could not be that funny. The Klitschkos are quite bright, as well, as some people have mentioned. A lot of the new young boxers, like Juan Diaz and Jeff Lacy, seem like intelligent guys.

DaVarryl Williamson holds a Master's Degree in business administration. His fight vs. Wladimir Klitschko was perhaps the only high-profile fight between two heavyweights with advanced college degrees.
