Who has the highest Ring IQ ever in the ATG HWs and who has the worst?

Highest Ali, Holyfield, Lewis
Lowest Wilder, Bruno, Joyce…and an honourable mention for Shannon the cannon
I don’t know if this thread is a product of the worst display of ring IQ that I can remember from Timmy last night, that was the worst and the whole team was culpable

 

Predictable side show on a thread where Fury's name does NOT belong

 

Some dubious names there that u consider to be ATG?!?!

 

He had great ring iq until he tried to wrestle Francis

 

In fairness I put Usyk's IQ right at the top with Ali. So the fact that Fury pushed him close and (on the official judges' cards) came within 1 round of winning the fight does put Fury's IQ pretty high up.

 

Best - Ali
Worst - first career Foreman (Lyle fight was ridiculous). Later career Foreman was almost genius level though.

Wilder/AJ are not all time greats.

 

Ali
Louis
Lewis
Holmes
Usyk…
To just name a few.




I don’t think you can be a ATG without good ring iq.

 

Floyd Paterson

 

Not surprisingly, the thread is failing to produce genuine ATGs with low ring IQs.

Have we actually had any? Perhaps Foreman version 1 is a reasonable call? But any others?

 

Yeah I might not have read the title properly, I appreciate your generosity saying dubious haha clearly not anything like atg with the exceptions of Ali, Lewis, and Holyfield.
I retract my comment
