    Getting personal because you didn't like my opinion doesn't seem too mature.

    The ability to make adjustments and win under the threat of a loss is very telling when talking about ring IQ, i.e having Plan B and sons in reserve is very important .

    Mike Tyson was very cerebral outside of the ring but you'll never see him making adjustments and make a comeback in case the opponent holds his ground and refuses to be intimidated by the early onslaught , so his "Ring IQ" isn't the best part about him.

    Let's make it easy without stretching the argument, if he beats Teo and Tank, I'll consider him an A-, till then he's a B in my books.

    If you don't like it we can always

    Your comment was related to Tyson.
    Twink will not fight Lomachenko. Both he and his management have made it clear.

    Tysons career doesn't have the type of fight where this could ever be displayed. Against Lewis or Holyfield he simply wasn't going to win, especially against Lewis. Ring IQ be damned.

    You just made my point that you really dont watch fights, cuz if you really watched the salido and teo fight then you would know the aDjUsTmEnTs...

    I admit it was ad hominem but i didnt wanna validate your point, if your sole basis for ring IQ is comebacks and winning ugly and just completely disregard timing an opponent, using angles, dominating without even punching, and just sheer overwhelming of opponents then you really dont watch his fights (as was my opinion of you).

    The loss against Salido is not a mark against his ring smarts. As for Lopez, he simply seemed too weak to outhustle Lopez after giving away the first half.

    "too weak to out hustle" is a physical thing or a lack thereof, so how can you put that under his "BOXING IQ" argument?

    You werent the guy who brought up salido so fair point.

    I never put much stock in his loss against Salido but the Lopez loss was egregious and could be totally prevented.

    You said "exactly", so now you are taking back what you said? You cant have it both ways
