The ten dumbest active fighters right now...

[STEELHEAD]

Carl Froch deserves a mention here. He somehow managed to ruin his well earned reputation as a warrior and alienate himself from a large portion of his fans, just to satisfy his ego. Nice work Carl!

ruin, alienating....your nuts.
must be one of those limeys who hates froch so much it makes them talk out of there asses.

Broner and rios are the first guys that come to mind when you say current, but dumbest of all time has to be golota.

Golota was more crazy than dumb....Plus he was on a secret Eugenics program to make sure that Bowe never bred again. Or maybe Bowe had such huge testicles and Golota was dumb enough to think he was fighting "six heads lewis"...thought he found three of the heads and was looking for a few more?

Broner is definitely up there....I mean seriously boxing fans have commented en mass on how Adriene can barely speak properly....and we are not talking about a critique from the English dept at NYU!

When he fought Madianne he had the brilliant idea to move straight back to avoid a long hook that practically travelled half the ring. When the interviewer asked him how he was? Adriene had to think for a few minutes and then you would have thought he was answering a tricky question: "Ummmmm I'm......ok."

And asking for a rematch? Truth is if he gets beat up again he may jump to the top of the list.

Whenever Amir Khan throws a left hook I shut my eyes.

I just expect when I open them that he will be on his arse.

this was pretty funny

There seems to be some confusion here about boxing brains - I've seen Matthew Macklin regarded as one of the smartest a few posts up.

I'm not talking about a guy's intelligence, I mean their boxing intelligence. Take Pascal last night, looking away while he was being smacked in the face. He got away with it, but it was DUMB. Another classic example (though I said ACTIVE boxers) was Golota above. "Andrew, hit him in the balls again and I'll DQ you, understand?" "Sureski"... goes and hits him in the balls. And then does it again in the rematch.

Let's give you an example. Nathan Cleverly is an educated man who even has a degree in maths (math, Fat Yanks), so he's a bright lad. But in the ring, with his amazing plan to say to a puncher "have a fresh shot, isn't it?".... his name inside the ropes becomes Nathan Notcleverly.

So so funny. You're the funniest guy on here when you drop gems like this.

I misunderstood the question. Erm, I'll give an honourable mention to the big, stiff idiot David Price.

Who despite his reach and height though it was a good idea to lunge in with a flying uppercut and got shockingly knocked out by a single shot to Tony Thompson.

But of course he'd right that wrong in the rematch...Or not.
