Hey guys,

Just wondering which one of the following fighters in your opinion possesses the greatest ring intelligence:

Jones Jr.
Hopkins
Mayweather

*No wise crack comments like "if Jones was so smart, he wouldn't still be fighting".

Hopkins he doesnt possess the athletic abilitys that Jones or Mayweather have but he compensates that with his intelegence.

Agreed. It's part of the reason Hopkins has remained so tough through his late 30's and into his 40's.

hopkins knows how to adapt to the situation, like bladerunner said he doesn't have the athletic ablities of jones or mayweather but he makes up for it with his intelegence.

To date it is Mayweather.

In their youth - Jones
In old age - X

I would say Hopkins, Mayweather, then RJJ. As stated above Hopkins makes up for his lack of talent (compared to PBF) by ring knowledge. Plus its hard to put a guy like PBF at #1 when he is such a nutball. That guy has more than one screw loose. lol

Hey guys,

Thanks for your comments. It looks like people are pretty divided as to who is #1. The consensus appears to be between Hopkins and Mayweather. Again, we are talking strictly about ring intellect, and not physical talent/ability. The point about Hopkins being the least physically gifted between the 3 and thus having had to rely more on intellect (especially in order to fight into his 40's) is well taken.

Hopkins. Seen it all, done it all.

Nice joke about RJJ. :)
