    Lennox would be the opposite of Ali in that respect. A very smart guy who plays chess and is good with his money, but to listen to him talk in his boring monitone voice while commentating youd think he was ******ed

    Lennox Lewis- 8

    James Toney- 9 use to be a 9, he was a genius in the ring at one point. But now hes just a fat burger lol so I say a 6 now

    Winky Wright - 9 Snart fighter, sticks to the gameplan, and does what he has to do to win

    Joe Calzaghe - 8

    Miguel Cotto - 8

    Oscar De La Hoya - 7

    Muhammad Ali - 8

    Jermain Taylor - 5, he doesnt listen. He's the only fighter i know that shakes his head yes when his corner is instructing him. And then goes out the next round and does the total opposite lol.

    Lewis - 8

    Toney - 9

    Wright - 9

    calcaghe - 8

    Cotto - 9 I dont know how he can be rated lower. some times i feel like u guys dont know what ur watching. watch how he feints his opponents into doing wht he wants them to do, how he switches the angles of his punches, how he makes his opponents go where he wants them to. Thats ring intelligence. Open ur eyes holy ****....

    Ali - 8

    Taylor - 3

    Lennox Lewis 9

    James Toney 10 But the mother ****er is at 9.5 due to his lack of training and should drop another point for consistant steriod abuse 8.5 final answer

    Winky Wright 9 Solid defense good work rate does not run to get out of the way of shots he actually boxes great fighter IMO

    Joe Calzaghe 7.5 fights the perfect fight when faced with a banger like lacey, but falls off when he fights lesser known fighters

    Miguel Cotto 8.5 very good pressure style fighter great power ability to switch and hit with both hands MC is the future of the welter weight divison

    Oscar De La Hoya 8 struggles in fights which he shouldnt dont know the problem with his stamina in the late rounds perhaps his eating habits are effecting him, also you must consider who he is in there with all top notch fighters he has faced 3 # 1 P4P fighters in his career and the last one he faced he only lost by a single point move him up to 9

    Muhammad Ali 9.5 the only thing that hurt this man was the lack in intelligence he had when he continued to fight knowing he was clearly past his better days

    Jermain Taylor 5 ****er does a great job in two fights against Hopkins then looks like **** over his last three against lesser fighters, I wouldnt call winky lesser but you can bet your ass Spinks is and so is Ouma

    Explain - Cotto is very intelligent in the ring. He knows what to do when he's hurt, he dictates the fight, he wears guys down, and he switches it up. The only the against him was he was going toe to toe with Torres a few times and that is when he got hurt badly.
