    Michael Moore's depth impressed me.

    Bobby Czyz is apparently a member of Mensa.

    Yes he was a very good pundit, very articulate, he was on the Sky Sports team along with the likes of McGuigan SR, Jim Watt, and Paul Dempsey.

    That guy has gone trough a metamorphosis. That in itself shows intelligence. The ability to reflect and make adjustments.

    It certainly ain't Mike. Tyson was dubbed semi-******ed in high school since his result was IQ 78. And no, reading books beyond a student's comprehension level isn't an indication of intelligence.

    Bobby Czyz has a legitimate genius level intellect.

    "Bobby and his younger brothers, Vince and Tony, were driven by an overbearing father who was obsessed with reading and knowledge. Bobby's IQ was tested at 135 and later he became a member of MENSA."

    I think it goes to show IQ tests are wrong or overrated in a way.
    Tyson had been very thoughtfull and smart/wise in many interviews.
    I think Alli had a 78 IQ as well but we all know him to be quick witted, intelligent and articulite.
    Maybe he bottled the army test on purpose?

    I think people are always smarter or dumber but Mike Tyson goes to show that if you grow up in the gutter around sexworkers and drugaddicts and violence you are not going to develop properly and get labled. But there is way more to the guy than that imo.

    I think it depends on what you consider intelligent. He's no Albert Einstein but I feel he is smarter, wiser and more knowledgeable than people give him credit for due to how he talks.

    And he wore glasses which made him look smarter. Sky Boxing, how great it used to be :(. Ian Darke and Glenn McCrory, great duo.
