    He's dumb as a brick outside of the ring, and not much better inside of it. But he's grown a pair and got his confidence up since his losses to Joyce and Usyk. So that grit, determination and willpower was enough to barrel right through AJ, in spite of AJ having the higher ring IQ. One could also say, it takes a real idiot to take that kill or be killed approach with AJ, and that's exactly what I was banking on when I picked Dubois to pull the upset.:sisi1

    The thread title suggests you're asking how smart he is but your poll is about ring IQ? The two dont necessarily have to corelate. But anyway he's as thick as pig sh.... dung but he gets paid millions of pounds for punching people in the head and he did come out on top against AJ even though he was in trouble himself it was AJ that walked onto one.

    Ring IQ I think AJ is smarter than both Dubois and Wilder but as crazy as it sounds I think Wilder is the actual smartest person out of the three of them I think he would do better on a standardised education test lol.

    Nah, I DO think Wilder's more Philosophical, tho'


    More so since he took head beatings and psychedelic drugs.



    He can see the sound and feel the colours now.

    Come on man the excuses he made tell you how dumb he is, he actually accused his trainer of spiking him. He said his costume was too heavy (he meant to sparkly).
    I mean if you would wear something that ridiculous for a ring walk then you are pretty dumb.
    Speak it, believe it, receive it was absolute horse shite, the last talks absolute bollocks.
    I don’t think aj is that dumb, DDD is definitely dumb and you can see that by how frank gets the mic off him after he talks for a few seconds. Joe Joyce and tank are the dumbest in boxing, when dillian Whyte skinned Joyce was hilarious.
    But out of those three wilder is definitely the dumbest

    Who cares, Dubois smashes both of them and that's what really matters. We all know Dubois iq is like 80, he's still a good fighter

    Joshua is the most intelligent. Not the sharpest knife but it's night and day compared to those two. Wilder is a destructive obnoxious dumb who thinks he's actually intelligent and is blatant with it to the point of parody(Dunning-Kruger), Dubois is the drooling seemingly harmlessretard until someone makes him angry.

    He beats any version of aj. He cooks prime joshuas chin like southern barbecue, walks him down behind the jab, makes him quit. Wilder only has a punchers chance

    This is the guy who got broken down by Joyce, was floored 3x by Lerena and stopped by an Usyk jab. Joshua is over the hill and got caught cold early. Even then he wobbled Dubois shortly before he got finished after being battered for nearly 5 rounds and might have actually closed the show if he didn't rush in recklessly trying to finish.

    I don't believe in prime aj. Everyone said he looked better than ever before before Dubois rolled him up. joshua got walked down by Ruiz and couldn't halt him, Dubois is better than Andy. He would beat joshua, it would just be more competitive than the 5 round demolition job that transpired last year

    You might be right but I think that Wilder is more of a knob head than all of them. I don’t think he actually believes his excuses and lies so that is why I don’t think he is as dumb as he comes across. Maybe AJ is smarter but his meltdown after the second Usyk fight was one of the strangest things I have seen in a boxing ring haha. I doubt any of the 3 of them would actually have passed high school.
