Golovkin has beat lesser comp at 160 than Quillin if he is on this list then so should Quillin and BJS for ring IQ

 

Marcos Maidana

He is the meta

 

Well, am I right or am I right?

 

we're talking about ring smarts and boxing fundamentals, not resume you clown. quillin and bjs don't even have 5% of the talent or boxing fundamentals that golovkin has.

 

I would remove Wlad and kid Chocolate then add Chris Byrd and then Lomachenko as a shoe in.

 

Duran, Mayorga, Qawi, Hamed, Holyfield, Tua a long list of fighters had a high ring IQ & utilized it to force fights to their favor (despite certain physical limitations)

The list posted in this thread favored slick/smooth boxers mixed with defensive wizards. Which is justified since Ring IQ is stereotyped as such, a calm operator schooling a beast :smoke

In boxing Ring IQ includes all styles & will roughly correlate with career success after deducting a value for managements influence :think

 

Not Wlad, guy fights 1 way then folded like a lawn chair when it didn't work against Fury, couldn't adjust or put on plan B.

Pretty much the opposite of high ring IQ.

 

do you even know who kid chocolate is? i'm talking about eligio montalvo, not peter quillin........ atsch

 

eder jofre wasn't slick
