Highest/Lowest ring IQ among great fighters

For Someone Fancying Himself a THINKING Man, REED's Shocked @ Your Inability to Think OUTSIDE of the Box, Bruh...

TALKING it is Part of it, WALKING it is Another...If a Fighter Can Astutely COMMENTATE a Boxing Match AND Get in the Ring and EXECUTE As Effectively (or MORE), how is that NOT Evidence of a High Ring IQ???...

Jim Lampley Can TALK it, but Obviously Can't WALK It...Lennox Lewis Could WALK It, but Obviously Couldn't TALK It...

Roy Jones Did Both...Andre Ward Does Both...

Was it ever much higher? I mean, cowering behind a pawing jab - including Vs past prime cruiserweights - isn't exactly a sign of great ring IQ is it?

 

His ring IQ improved as he got older, but he sure as Hell isn't amongst the most intelligent greats inside the ring.

 

SKY and other idiots tried to make out that Lewis was some kind of 'chess-player-cum-fighter' once Stewart got hold of him, but the truth is that Lewis did the same thing in almost every fight: cagily fight behind his jab when fighting someone dangerous and bray fuck out of anyone he didn't rate. That was it, basically.

MTF

 

Exactly, he was basic. He had some attributes that enabled him to be a very successful heavyweight, but the idea he was this intelligent master boxer is hilarious.

Do you remember when he played chess against someone from the Guardian or something, and they basically said he sucks and they let him win out of pity?
