    I'm talking about ring smarts, fight IQ.... Maybe who is the best technical boxer of all time would be better.

    If we are talking general smarts then I've just been informed of this man-

    Its clearly him :deal But I'm talking about in the ring.

    Can we factor the trainer into this? For example Hopkins and Richardson have an amazingly high combined Boxing IQ.

    It's not like Hopkins needs Richardson to be mentioned here. Fisher was his primary trainer anyway.

    Bouie 'English' Fischer is still under appreciated, a fantastic trainer. Naz learned from the right man.

    Hopkins may still win anyway, FMJ, Burley, JMM, SRL, Joe Calzaghe (fantastic at making adjustments), RJJ.

    I don't know much about Larry Holmes ring IQ, what was that like?

    Congratulations your IQ is higher then B-Hop, and Richardson combined.

    On a serious not, I took one when I was a little kid and I scored over 140. I don't remember where it was, but I remember my family making a big deal out of it, because I was in the top 5 percent for my age. After many years of alcohol, and drug abuse I probably hover around 125-130.
