    But that's not so hard with the kind of money he earned. You don't even have to be that smart to then, you hire the expertise.

    WHat kind of question is this? Id bet just as many fighters are HS dropouts as HS graduates.

    Thread should be who were college graduates.

    I read somewhere Tyson tried to finish his high school in prison, but failed miserably. One of the few boxing champions my country had, Regilio Tuur once participated in an yearly televised IQ test and I believe he had a score of 83, don't know if he ever finished school but with that score I highly doubt it.

    I am aware. I believe both Klitschkos have a doctorate. I think Roland LaStarza went to college... And I might be wrong but I think Marco Antonio Barrera and Calvin Brock have degrees. Oh, and I hear since incaceration, Ike Ibeabuchi has a degree or two. And George Foreman's son.

    I believe Klitschko`s are intelligent guys, but if education in Ukraine is as easy as getting a drivers license there, their IQ could be only average;)

    I forgot about Mando Muniz who was a prinicipal and High school wrestling Coach last time i heard.

    Not to get off topic but if they had MMA back in his days he would have been awesome,he was an All state Wrestler and became one of the best Welters of the 70s
