    Chris Eubank claims to have an IQ of 180 (hmmmmm).

    Nicky Piper is a MENSA member.

    Ali, financially smart? He was robbed blind by promoters. He only made his money back later on due to his image. He has charisma and is a good self promoter but that is different than financially smart.

    Bobby Czyz was literally a genius I believe.
    Holmes was a financial maven.

    The Klits are up there, though. Multiple languages and college degrees are great accomplishments.

    You're not going to like hearing this but Ali was a moron. The man was more or less illiterate, had very little understanding of politics, got dragged into any cult he met an envoy of, ended his career with a lot less money than he should have and had a double digit IQ.

    Agreed, Ali I.Q. was in the 70's. He was a dimwit. You can just listen to him speak. He would use triple negatives on occasion.

    Ken Norton was a college man. He dropped out because of boxing and he needed money but if you listen to him speak you could clearly see the man was extremely intelligent.

    He found a way to beat the hyped, most intelligent man, in the OP. That makes him smarter, in boxing relativity terms.

    Yep.
    P. Diddy received a gift Doctorate degree from Howard University. So technically, it's DOCTOR P. Diddy Combs.

    Magic Johnson got his from Xavier University, so it's Dr. Magic Johnson.
    BTW: Magic's net worth is $500M.
