Heavyweight Champ With Lowest IQ

[Longhaul]

- -Ali failed his first draft intelligence test that earned him a 4F draft classification, ie those unfit for even basic duty.

Years later he was called in and failed again. All he ever did was spout a bunch of doggerel nonsense that he made up. Later as he matured he became wiser and realized he was being duped by the NOI, but he had to wait for Elijah's death before he could extract himself from their clutches lest he meet Malcolm's fate.

When Tyson visited England he dazzled their boxing experts with his erudite knowledge of boxing history and styles and had a very smooth verbal delivery and he just 21 yrs old.

Big George one of the most intelligent which is why he and Archie Moore really hit it off. Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey and the Kbros too.

Lennox Lewis one of the most pretentious.

Currently the Mayweathers save Jeff couldn't spell cat if you spotted them the a and the t and half his stable no better.

You know that’s funny you should say that back in the early eighties I was around the mayweather clan off and on a daily basis at the golden globes gym in North Las Vegas and I was sure Jeff must have been the milk mans kid .Low key intelligent sounding really nice guy.Who if he had the power of his brother Roger would have one tough hombre.He had a huge heart and was in one fight that was candidate for fight of the year.

Dumbest heavyweight champion ever would be between Bowe and Wilder.

[Mooshashi]

Ok seriously... Leone Spinks.

This right here. He was embarassingly ******.

Deontay Wilder

End of story. Complete moron

You’re hate is blinding you. The sport is hundreds of years old, with many HW champs battling poverty their entire lives. Many champs not even making it to highschool

Sonny Liston couldn’t read, and his wife had to teach him how to sign his name for when people asked for autographs.

But wilder is dumber because you don’t like his interviews?

Wilder is the dumbest I know since I was not alive in that time. Wilder is a complete ******.

- -Illiteracy because of the oppressive rural sharecropper conditions of Sonny's era where he like Archie Moore didn't even know their birth dates is not an indicator of ******ity.

But I never heard Sonny was illiterate before, but no matter, he comes across well in interviews after a rough childhood.

Compare to Deyonce who makes peanuts in America compared to Joshua who counts the world his oyster. Deyonce fighting many more years is barely out of his TBA diapers and is a deliberate thug lucky to have Haymon paying off people to keep him out of prison.

Brand new poll, lads. Never been done.

First, let's look at parameters of our study. We are determining the lowest IQ, not the ******est act. Don't point to some individual act and say, "Look what he does/says/is here: by Sneezy, that means he is really dumb."

Instead, which champ proves to you over a lifetime that he is not more ******, but more dumb, than the rest. Such a man would be rather poor with language, I have to imagine. To be a great boxer there are skills that must be learned properly. There are instructions that must be comprehended. A true MR could never be champ unless he were so physically superior to his opponents that his thickness would not even matter. A ******ed Angus McKaskill, for instance, might waste Wilder or Tyson as long as he had the right attitude to go with his dumbness.

Essentially, I do not believe a person who is too ****** can ever be heavyweight champion, unless he is close to 8 feet tall and a specimen.

Have at it, lads. Let's see who you pick and what kind of evidence you can muster.

Muhammad Ali had a reported and measured IQ of 78, which is... very low. Then again, it was a standardized US military conscription test, so it might mean very little in practice.

Out of the current big heavyweights, f. in., I'd say that Tyson Fury is the most intelligent of the three, whilst Deontay Wilder would be the least - but it's also kinda what makes him so effective at his preferred style of boxing, I think.

Yup Leone was incredible... In addition to the dentition he was the only individual ever that ******* made smarter.

It is true about Liston...And I often wish I could have been in front of the man and been there to say to tell him that he had nothing to be ashamed of. Yes he was illiterate but very smart.

It is kind of sad that we all make light but Sonny really felt lesser of a man because of this illiteracy. nobody should feel this way. Especially a fighter who was so smart about his methods.

Oh I was not making light of the man at all. Liston is my favorite HW boxer of all time, and that has as much to do with the man as the boxer. He truly lived a tragic life.
