Smartest boxers and ******est boxers

[BM dnobagaV]

I think it takes more intelligence to be a Senator than a strip-club owner. Some people work to better themselves, others are blissfully dumb.

Not exactly.
One became a senator through popularity, the other became a strip club owner through money.
Popularity/wealth =\= intelligence

Some of the dumbest; Duran

There is a story of Duran picking up a cat by its tail and smashing it against a wall, in the middle of an interview or something

[KillaMane26]

Dumbest is any boxer who uses their head as their defense.

Smartest would be guys like Marquez, Juan Diaz, Chris Algeri, Calvin Brock,

[Citizen Koba]

Jack Johnson is the smartest boxer of all time, he's the sole inventor amongst them.

Primo for the dumbest, forgiving time-based beliefs like meat and beer are good for pre-fight meals or scientific racism, guys like Sully are the poorest educated, but, Primo's basically just a puppet. Thoughtless, or, unconcerned, take your pick.


Tunney also has a degree like K2. I'm not sure it was a doctorate, but, I remember being impressed. If it's important ot interesting to you, look up Tunney, he is educated.



Kid McCoy for backhanded cleverness. Kid did things like going to Peter Maher, the KO King of the 1890s, and warning him before the fight their match is merely an exhibition, no power stuff, no knocking the crap out of each other. Kid's about twenty pounds smaller than Pete. Peter agrees and acts real nice through out. Then Kid just turns it up and puts Peter on his ass. "Deceitful Spaleen!" Peter yells as he hits the deck. I remember the quote 'cause it's funny as hell in an olde timey manner.

In another case Kid went to Tommy Ryan to get a title fight from him. Ryan was uninterested but Kid presented himself to Ryan looking sickly and talking about how he just needs money for medical bills. Ryan agrees to take the fight and does little training or prep work thinking it basically a fix. Kid shows up fight night looking fierce while Tom simply shows up. Yes, Kid McCoy became champion that fight.

on top of stuff like that McCoy added to boxing with techniques like the corkscrew punch that remains a staple in boxing for only the best and elite.


Jack Johnson - Added to man's toolbox

Tunney/K2 - Have nice pieces of paper that suggest they could maybe add to man's toolbox.

Kid - A ****ster who tended to get away with his exploits.

You just hadda leave that dangling there didn't you?

I'd never heard of that one before.

Got to give it to Mayweather as the smartest (The fact that he doesn’t have a high educational background) but still able to make good business decisions outside (Boxing career-wise)...

The dumbest? Look no further than Wilder, never seen a boxer soooo ******** dumb. Like literally the dumbest with everything.

As a senator he still needs to put in the work. Decision making, budget analysis, utilization of resources, negotiating, etc., require knowledge and discretion. Floyd throws money at a failed strip club and hires some dupe to run it into the ground for him. You do know he is borderline illiterate right?

[Onetwoboxing]

Smart: Floyd Mayweather, Canelo

Dumb: Mickey Ward

I'm glad you caught that.

My name is Adam, if we were on FB or some such were people just read my name I'd've capitalized Man and taken ownership of the toolbox.


Adam has a few meanings but one of them is simply 'man'.

[bigsmoothh]

Two you've mentioned are smart, klitschkos too, malignaggi and fury always seemed switched on. Most ****** are more easier to identify - Broner wilder spence charlos tank. Not a brain cell between them.

mmhahahahah so true,

[BoomBapTrap]

Crawford is quite dumb.
When he talks and the way he behaves, very ******-ignorant like.

But I mean, he’s from Nebraska...
