Smartest Boxers Ever

Gene Tunney

 

Impossible to go 5 pages deep without being mentioned, but just in case by some miracle he hasn't been: James "Burger King" Toney. He is King of Burger. Get milk. Baby.

 

James "Lip-Lab" Toney was one of the best media events in the sport's history. His sound bites made many sports writers appear better than they actually were. Toney did all the work for them.
The hell with that Euro polite interview stuff.
As Mike Tyson says, "Everybody is polite, until they get hit in the mouth".

 

good list for ring smarts but I think this thread is on educational inteligence

 

In that case, Artur Beterbiev has a Law degree.

 

Lol.... Not even mentioned on his own website. From where Dagestan community college?

 

Klits may be textbook intelligent but Vitali a jewish politican has no ethics he attended a function with leader of white helmets (terrorist) and leader of Hong Kong protesters, he was a good boxer by I don't respect him for anything else. Lenox Lewis knew when to retire and was wise with his money, Floyd is a smart man, Lovemore N'dou is a practising lawyer and seems quite articulate

 

Lennox Lewis is a classical example. he knew the time to retire & did it. His wife & his Mother had be harassing him & he picked the perfect time. He retired & stayed retired despite multi mil $$$$$ offers to come back
He is now a healthy wealthy happily married man with a great family. He is enjoying the fruits of his labors he earned in the ring God bless Lennox thanks for the memories

 

Interesting. Yeah I heard Vitz is basically a useful idiot when it comes to politics. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ---- $$$

 

I've massive respect for Lovemore mate , he was holding down a pro boxing career whilst studying and passing the bar exam , not too shabby a fella that .

 

They have them in sports sciences which isn't all that easy. Credit where credit is due, getting a PhD isn't all that easy. Wlad is also fluent in five languages.

 

Those who got out with their health intact and enough money.
Get in, work you ass off, buy a house/apartment, save some money.

 

Not sure of his intelligence, but Kosei Tanaka always seemed smart and respectable, as he won his first title while a university student at 21.
Hoping for some more great fights from him.

 

I'm hoping to be one of those, Chazz Witherspoon is a Pharmaceutical Marketing degree holder himself.

 

He's a perfect poster boy though
