    What do you think of a guy who got IQ scores of 78, 79 and 84 in a verbal test, then scored 90 on a computer IQ test?

    I would need to know the control and the scope of the test...but generally I don’t punch much stock in them. Many are gender biased, and or have mitigating factors. They are fun to take like personality profiles etc. but to put much validity in them or thier scores...nah, they don’t reveal a whole lot to me.

    So Ali didn't have a good jab and McCellan and Corrales are great but not Morales. Most of your posts are just a bunch of names majority of which either aren't relevant to the thread of just plain wrong. Impressive that level of consistency, you would think a good post would creep in but nope.

    It's all subjective.

    I got a 19 out of 100 on my Geometry finals in high school. And I'm proud of it since I guessed on every question.

    However, I DO know that Muhammad Ali had a destructive, powerful jab that tore up many an opponents face.

    I think Tyson showed only once time good jab skill against Tucker (He could outjab his very tall 6'5" opponent. ) Maybe he didn't prefer this -important but very boring to watch- style.

    Foreman looked awful vs 34 years old former lhw Gregorio Peralta. He didn't look much better over a year later in rematch.

    I don't put much stock in IQ tests.
