This is a common misconception, a lot of boxers are actually very intelligent compared to other sports personalities. There's a plethora of boxers out there that are miles more intelligent than any football or rugby player. Name me a player smarter than Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis, Oscar De La Hoya, Floyd Mayweather or Chris Eubank. Vitali Klitschko holds a damn PhD and is a massive figure in Ukrainian politics. Indeed many of the greatest boxers are also very smart people, that's because boxing is a more intellectual sport than many people give it credit for.
