Mosley is equally dumb and is widely known as being so. He sucks at making any sort of adjustments during fights.
It's a long discussion professional success and salary are obviously not only related to IQ but most of the time intelligent people will find good jobs and earn good money. In the case of Floyd I think that he is not that stupid because he has created a personality that will be hated by a lot of people like you who will by his PPV just to see him lose. We both don't know him so we can not tell for sure. I think that Floyd has very high RING IQ because he is able to adapt during the fights which is very difficult. He is thinking while there is a guy in front of him that is trying to kill him. That's not very easy. I'm not the biggest Floyd fan myself but you are hater that will never give him any credit which is a shame. I'm working know so excuse me if I don't respond you later
I think Pac's intellect is being underrated. He's not at Mayweather or Hopkins level, but he's by no means a dumb fighter.
And boxers don't have managers? You're really reaching here to continue an argument you've clearly lost. Let's try this a different way - which is more directly related: Income and intelligence or Intelligence and ring intelligence?
Calzaghe while active had some of the highest ring IQ in the sport. He displayed this in the second half of his fight with Hopkins where he made all the correct adjutments out thinking a ring general like Hopkins.
i didnt state my criteria. in my opinion, a smart fighter understands his weaknesses and strengths and those of his opponent. his game plan will reflect that. if his game plan isnt ideal he can make it better during the fight. a very smart fighter can make those adjustment in the middle of a round. there are more but **** typing it all up. for mayweather, showing mosley that he couldnt hurt him and that he wasnt scared was the best thing to do. it scared the **** outta mosley.
This is a flawed assumption. Why is it that the scientists that create a drug for instance make far less than the business men that sell it?
Floyd won't get hit with one and the same punch over and over and over all night long like Pacquiao, will he?
So a fighter who goes into a fight without watching any of the myriad of readily available film of his opponent would have to be a total ****ing imbecile, right?
You've said that Floyd has "proven himself to be an idiot, that doesn't change when he steps in the ring". If he's an idiot and adapted to a right hand, what does that tell you about your boy who couldn't adapt to a lead right or an uppercut from Clottey even if his life depended on it?
You think an indication of intelligence would be to adjust your game plan while you're comfortably winning every round? Jesus ****ing christ.
