Fighters Smarter Than The Average Person

I’d say every point is not so.

The average boxer has below average education, most boxers get ripped off on their own management .

The smartest boxers ? Klitschko brothers both are either political people in office or are affiliated with branches of technology affiliated company.


A.J has a very strong understanding of the world and how to relate with his own marketing growth and stY out of unwarranted legal issues or legal situations as a champion.


Mayweather is absolutely in my top 3 ,he just understands how to grow in the world even with some legal issues to ,you can’t knock the guys smarts as big as his ego is .

AJ and Mayweather.

They probably couldn’t read a book between them.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

AJ is the smartest and most articulate current boxer. And might be the most articulate since Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard. Most of the things people give Hearn credit for, is actually AJ's. For him to be self-managing himself from like his 5/6 pro fight and be able to build what he has built, shows wit. Freddie Cunningham is just a figure-head and an employee on wages who was employed as barely a fresh graduate to act as the face of 258 management.

The klitschko bro were pretty smart throughout their careers and also highly educated, especially Wlad. They're the most educated boxers in the history of boxing.

Floyd Mayweather is very smart despite his shenanigans and alleged inability to read. Literacy =/= smart. They guy turned hate into being the highest earner in boxing history and has been able to build relationships across the globe with his notoriety whereby he can do a tour and still make decent money.

A lot of British boxers from London under the radar who're still on the come-up have university degrees and they're pretty smart.

Roy Jones is also very smart. The guy has been a commentator since the 90s when he was at the peak of his career.

They probably seem smart to you...

Audley Harrison is a bright guy. He definitely has a degree of some sorts.

The Klitschko’s obviously.

Cleverly as someone has already mentioned.

Marquez is a qualified accountant.

Former Marquez opponent, Juan Diaz actually has a degree in political science.

Wasn’t Calvin Brock an accountant of some sort as well? I remember he was nicknamed “the boxing banker” due to his success in finance.

Got to throw my mate Tom Doran in there too, he’s an aircraft electrical engineer.

[DaNeutral.]

Nicky piper was a bank manager. And I'm sure Floyd has such a great iq but damn that guy knows his business.

[TheMyspaceDayz]

Former 80's star, Bobby Czyz had an IQ of 140. And spoke eloquently.

If Bobby Czyz scored a 140 then they oughta just shut the whole test down altogether. That guy called fights like rain man but without the brilliance. Pointed out the obvious, repeated himself and made you want to ditch him in Vegas.

[REDEEMER]

I’ll say the modern welterweights impress me

Thurman Porter and Garcia all come across as bright guys

Boxers today are more educated but out of the thousands of boxers most come from hard places it’s why boxing exists really otherwise you would have a very select few who wouldn’t have all these opponents. Most boxers have to box , Wilder was a soda boy / beer guy delivered beverages before going into boxing ,he’d still be doing that if he hadn’t walked into a gym asking to learn how to box . Who knows what Fury would be doing ? And A.J was a brick layer which is a decent job that requires knowledge but that’s one guy out of the top 3 just as an example.

[Ted Stickles]

The Klitschko brothers both have PhD’s and while a lot of fighters aren’t educated some are geniuses at reading and understanding physical movement.

[Willy Wanker]

Mike Tyson smarter than credited

Very good wit and capable of speaking to all kinds of people

Understands and uses words most people don’t know the meaning of

Tyson is very articulate. He's an intelligent man who just made a lot of dumb life choices when he was young and impressionable. I like hearing Tyson speak about boxing and life in general, he's gained a lot of wisdom from the crazy life he lived.
