    Sugar Ray Leonard was a smart boxer and buiness man, besides the fact he never knew when to retire.

      For me, Chris Eubank was one who, despite the lisp, was a rather intelligent chap.
      Chris Eubank is not intelligent he talks rubbish to make himself seem smart, he has that ****** monocle and drives a truck which he pays thousands monthly in parking tickets for.
      Idiot

            JT actually is a pretty nice, well spoken guy when you meet him outside of his tough guy boxing stuff. He babbles alot now though.

            No wonder why TOS/Wlad ******...a couple of ***** ass teachers fighting has never been an appealing fight.

                Ali is outstanding in my mind because he could change up any plan he would see what worked and what didn't and not be stuck in a rut like so many countless others we watch who won't even notice the guy they are fighting against has become a one handed fighter. RJJ seems to know whats going on at least in the ring in that same way. As far as intellectual i beleave there are many intelligent fighters so many in fact that the addage that you got to be ****** to want to fight for a living seems as out dated as women not being able to vote. I don't know what others will feel but i think also that george foreman is a very smart man at least wise.

                  being good in books and in your subjects doesn't necessarily translate to being smart.
