List Your Top Five: Smartest and Dumbest Boxers IN THE RING.

[baya]

So basically the Pac fight... Gotcha!

Good to see fans still judge his entire career off that fight.

If inactivity( as in fighting once a year )was smarts, the you would be correct.

If the inability to fight through injuries was smarts, then yes, you would be correct.

Clottey was no stupid fighter by any means. The only three fights he can even be questioned for Inactivity was, Margo, Cotto, and Pac.

He busted up his hand against Margo. He was body slammed, and messed up his knee in the process against Cotto. Both fights he had in hand, at the moment of injury.

The Pac fight, I agree. Inactivity cost him a competitive fight, huge outrage from fans, and maybe a W. That doesn't make him an overall dumb fighter though.

.. and those are the three, the magnitude got to him. that's mentality, not physical inability. that ghanaian is nothing if not a fucking motor.

Cba to do a proper list, but i reckon Andre Dirrell deserves a mention here on the 'dumb' side

In the context of the physical gifts he has, his career has been a massive let down. Even if you scored the Froch fight to him, the fact he was so clearly better than Froch but still made the fight close is a testament to his shocking ring iq.

We will just agree to disagree. Mental tuffness issues? Sure. Ring IQ? Played no part in any of those 3 fights.

Also, he set traps for Margo and Cotto all night... Even after the injuries. He also countered both very well. That is ring IQ, right?

Those were also very competitive fights aswell. Clottey had one bad outting IMHO. That was against Pac.

If that constitutes dummy, than so be it.
