Highest ring IQs.

Jofre was a good pick, he was physically limited yet managed to become an ATG & GOAT @Brazil

• Eder Jofre
• Acelino Frietas
• Miguel de Oliveira
• William Silva

Still Jofre if we deviate off a bit from that direction you end up with Zaragoza who says that wasn't high ring IQ :?

Then if we start focusing on success of the awkward & physically limited, we might overlook physically gifted fighters with high ring IQ, so Ring IQ should be general career success (minus) Management influence

 

if lomachenko deserves to be on that list, then so does gvosdyk

 

I also wondered about Lomachenko. Great boxer, one of my current favorites, but he didn't exhibit great ring smarts in the Salido fight.

 

I'm aware but he's never the first to come to mind.

 

:good

 

Young George Foreman

 

He was so selective with his punches!

 

Maybe he wasn't a genius losing his first fight, but he joins this list

• Bernard Hopkins
• Alexis Arguello
• Juan Maneul Marquez
• Rafael Marquez
• Ricardo Mayorga
• Henry Armstrong
• Buck Smith
• Joe Bugner

 

It was like a chess match.


Add Jerry Quarry.

 

Joe Fraizer (let me keep rushing in exactly the same way I've been doing and getting my ass kicked).

 

Young Foreman fought like he was playing Whack-A-Mole at Chuck-E-Cheese

 

:toney

 

You can't be considered as having a high ring Iq while being defensively inept as Golovkin is. STOP the nutt hugging.

 

Prime Paul Williams.
James Kirkland.

 

It wasn't that he lost the fight, that can happen to anyone. I didn't see him change his game plan to adapt to the cheating Salido.
