Of course. Asians have the highest.

True, an offensive fighter with ring IQ is so much fun to watch

Above Floyd Mayweather is ridiculous in terms of pure boxing IQ.

@@killerblademurderslasher8616 lol

@@killerblademurderslasher8616 look the stats

@@vishnu2407Mike Tyson said exactly the same thing about Inoue. He said Inoue hasn't gotten enough credit he deserves and his fights are exciting to watch. I'm sure that's because not just his punching power but he uses some tactics that beat his opponents. I think people wanna see what kind of tactics and skills he would show in the ring. He fights like Bruce Lee 😁

Asian highest of course. Scientifically proven.

One of the most underrated boxers in the history of the sport

A rare gem who was slick but also an aggressive counter puncher. Same ilk as sweet pea

Apparently not enough of a boxing mind to beat Roy

@@hasnogood6012 And Tarver beat Roy three times. Got any excuses tonight, Roy?

Asian highest of course. Scientifically proven.

Who has he beat?

Not even close.

@@user-eu6wp6ws7c At least one sleek fighter.

Toney, in terms of boxing IQ

@@user-eu6wp6ws7c I guess you are new. Every champion in all the weigh classes he has fought in. And knocked them all out

Jones beat him in his prime )

No he’s just your favourite bucko

Asian highest of course. Scientifically proven.

Disappointed that they had left him out because no other fighter of today's era had taught me brilliant subtle tactics which I can't recall seeing prior to him. One that was noticed a while back was how he'd press his glove to the loaded hip of his opponent, taking every ounce of power off of the power punch and how I'd even noticed this had surprised me but it's something that I'd never forgotten since seeing it. (Felix Diaz back at 135 still I believe is the bout where he showed this) Another thing Bud does expertly is create openings by manipulation of his opponent's guard, his probing bat down jab being one of many he uses to create those openings, a right or left hook (depending on stance he's in, lead hand hook typically) that isn't intended to hit his opponent but to snake around the guard and pull it down and deliver a cross/overhand is another one he's very gifted at having success with. Digging his chin into the collar bone when in a tie up is another subtle tactic that I'd picked up paying close attention to that name over the years and I await the next brilliant little trick he shows while he's active yet, sad that he's likely not got much longer to go in his career but at least long enough to see more of his cerebral yet aggressive style with genius level Ring IQ and that's what makes him such a tough opponent to even train for. They gotta hire both Orthodox and Soutpaw sparring partners just to prepare for him and idk many, if any at all can emulate Crawford as a sparring partner to prepare for him because I've seen so many variants of his style, even within the same bout, let alone through his career and with that world class experience for a decade+, has only made that IQ sharper as well as him developing young star talents has kept him sharp and where he needs to be. How they'd put Loma in here over him is beyond me, no dig against Loma who is a brilliant tactician, however when ESPN ranked Loma #1 P4P, Loma himself strongly rejected that position, stating that Bud Crawford was that guy. I had folks mock me mercilessly for suggesting he was the man in today's landscape (a particular partisan fan base was responsible for this mostly) and well, they laughed then, cried later when I tried to warn them that they were dead wrong throughout that debate/rivalry which dragged on for 5 years. Even pre-accident, eye injury Errol would've been stopped by Bud due to the one bad habit that Bud exploited throughout that bout and that's his habit of dropping his guard during lunging offense, against an elite counterpuncher, that spells disaster. If anyone can beat Bud, I'd say stylistically a naturally smaller, explosive counterpuncher is perhaps the style that can best this man if going on the bout he'd struggled most in at 135 against a prime and then very highly touted Gamboa which had Bud in the most trouble yet as a pro and even in that moment he displayed the IQ to clear his head and then upped his gears and beat down Gamboa. That was years ago and he's grown both physically and tactically since that precarious moment. Curious to see how he fares at 154 which seems like that's nearly the max weight of his frame but I recall people laughing when he'd upped to 147, claiming he's "too small," and then he flattened 100% of his foes as a WW, including the one many were so sure beats him. Wholly agreed and that's just a few illustrations as to why he should've been considered in this one for sure.

I get where you’re coming from but Roy outboxed James.

@@notpaper-cr6ni not exactly because of his smarts or skills but his freaking athleticism.

Loma is definitely smart as well he uses a lot of techniques and tricks

Asian highest of course. Scientifically proven.

i stopped reading when you said you would rank pac higher than roy lmao

Roy's key was athleticism not IQ

Facepalm

Wrong. His is was great for what he had. He used his athletic abilities the best out of any boxer. The feints that he used were high enough in iq as it is, when you get to layering them like he does, the iq is def top ten.

@@notpaper-cr6niyh no Athletics makes up most of it only a little basic IQ is needed but even sandwich makers know how to use feints they been boxing for 10+ years let’s not pretend it’s that hard for them

Yes, Jones has nothing to do on this list. Hopkins missing for some reason.

Asian highest of course. Scientifically proven.

Lol terrible

hahaha pacman?

フロイド　ゲイウェザーに爆笑

Usyk sure, but Naseem? Dude got beaten to a pulp by a guy used basic boxing fundamentals and then called it quits.

Lmao he's been sparring dudes at 130 for years now on the inside. 😂u just a casual hater

@@ShutUpAndPlayIt of course everybody work on it in sparring if they want to get better …..bet you can’t name a fight under the bright lights where an opponent was willing to test him inside and test his guard control game or press him in the phone booth under their command……as the competition gets tighter and the weights get higher….Inoue won’t have the same athletic advantages and ability to control against a naturally heavier guy willing to stand catch and shoot with him. Breaking down to you that it takes naturally heavier and pressure skilled guys is appreciating and recognizing Inoue is that good you casual hater 😂

@@PUGiLLiZMso if he goes through 126 which is the 6th weight class from 108(5th he’s going to fight in), and he somehow makes it look easier than it should be, does he have to go to 130 to be tested to be considered good?

@@PUGiLLiZM Completely agreed. Inoue is one of the best skilled fighters rn in boxing when in mid-long range, but inside/close range he hasn't shown to be good at using controls and manipulations to beat his opponents there. Can he compete there? Of course he can because he is a very disciplined and athletic boxer. To be fair to inoue, many fighters were not able to get to inside range against him because of how good he is at other ranges. If we have not seen him use good inside game to beat opponents then theres not way we can assume that he is a good inside fighter. It doesn't matter if he worked on it in sparring for years, if we havent seen it then its not there. Though, I don't understand your comment on "IQ= inside quarters". Doesnt ring iq mean just how smart you are in the ring in general not just the inside range.

He can fight inside too. No one tries it because once they get tagged they get defensive. He also has a fast disgusting check hook if you try to come in on him. Every time a fighter got aggressive with him they were put on their ass on the canvas or sleeping. The power he generates at such short distance paired with his timing can definitely make a fighter think twice. Time will tell but as of right now I don't think it will be a walk in the park for anyone at 126 to beat Inoue. That division will be on high alert if he moves up.

manny never really known to be a high iq type of fighter...his speed,power and stamina were just superb.

Inoue #1

That was another conspicuously absent name, however this being a TR UKposts page, they focused on their stable (or fighters whom were once TR fighters) so that is likely why he was left out of this, I think it's criminal that they'd left out Bud Crawford being that he was with TR for most of his career and probably the most subtly brilliant tacticians I'd seen yet. However Bivol definitely belongs in this conversation, especially amongst today's talent particularly.

Probably 😂

@@vince11harris 😫😭

Inoue Is better.

Terence is better than inoue... terence never taste blood on his eyes and nose but inoue did it when he first fight donaire😊

lol now is roy above Floyd smh Roy was all athletics He declined later on cuz of that he isn’t a “smart” fighter type

Floyd is not number 1 in everything buddy. James Toney and RJJ above him is very appropriate.

@@keithdefreitas3399 it really isn’t RJJ was all athleticism nothing much more Speed and Power won him all his fights

@@keithdefreitas3399 This is an IQ video tho. But I feel U. Roy & Tony were fools wit it. I just think Floyd was a smarter fighter. Roy is my favorite fighter tho. He kissed his right hand twice n knocked homie down. 😆😆

it isnt high RUNNING IQ Top

@@user-mr5pw1nr6m sure buddy

Running scared isn't IQ clown. Learn boxing before making dumb comments.

Looked shite in his last fights

Stevenson is no different than Haney. Both amateurish pretenders.

😭😭😭wow I've heard it all now, he has losses on his record because of bogus decisions, corruption and injury, tell me why he hasn't been knocked out by any of these big guys. Loma hasn't actually lost a fight amateur or pro if you go watch, you could argue Lopez was a draw but Loma beat himself by taking first half of fight off, he won the most dominant rounds of the fight though.

I disagree, his first lost was just a fucking robbery by the judges. His second though, yeah, you're right about that one. He absolutely couldn't adjust to Lopez.
