I'm surprised only one guy mentioned Mayweather Jr. (then again, it's limited to active fighters, so Floyd misses out by about a year). The guy was a scholar of the ring.
Hopkins is #1 and Winky(imo) is #2. The way he dominated trinnidad(even though he had the two year layoff after his first defeat!) was pretty damn incredible and his victory over mosley, ike courtey and jermain taylor(well it was a draw but true boxing fans know who won that).
The most intelligent fighter is the fighter that doesn't lose, boxing is about winning! Winning = success = intelligence, like a chess match! Whoever mentioned Ali was a good point but Ali didn't lose to the same guy twice he adapted. Hopkins didnt do that even against Taylor in the second fight!
yes shaky after 5 lol..cotto is all balls..not sure about smarts...chris john is not smart enough to leave indonesia..guzman is not smrt enough to make weight and marquez is not smart enough to not go to ar with izzy every second of the fight i WOULD SAY jmm wlad and even hatton are smart fighters
(1) If that was true Margarito would have KO'd him in round 3 or 4 (2) I don't even know what you are talking about here (i'm guessing "war" is one of the words; every second of the fight just baffles me). (3) How is Crystal Meth these days, or are you just trying to compensate because he beat the **** out of your Tranny girlfriend. Hatton a modern day ring general...your whole argument is sunk right there you dumb twat. Now, why don't you just **** off to a Calzaghe hate-thread and spew your **** instead...don't be scared...you'll find like-minded people there.
