    What---no metion of Razor Ruddock? He's in about 6 different topics right now and held in such high esteem he certainly must have the same amount of boxing smarts on par with his left hook capabilities, doesn't he?

    Seriously, a guy never mentioned is Vitali Klitschko. Very smart in the ring and I always like the way he used that upper body movement of things to guage the other guy.

    Jimmy young was another. Calzaghe is another guy seldom mentioned but did things using his boxing brains in there to set the table. Pernell Whitaker.

    Usually it's the boxer types who fit the bill though. They use everything. It's hard to think of the big hitters with this skill. But the 30-0 with 6 ko's guy get their results with their boxing IQ.
