Are all boxers stupid?

[Warrior189]

My little brother thinks all boxers are uneducated, but i don't think that. EX. Ali won the nobel peace prize, I think for his theory of peace or something anyway are there anymore well educated boxers?

Some things to consider:

Muhammed Ali, allthough not educated was a clever and sharp guy.

Both Klitschko brothers hold PhDs in Sports Medicine.

WBA light weight champ Juan Diaz is a pre-law student who cracks the books like he does the focus mitts.

Ross Enamarit (rossboxing.com) was an olympic level boxer, now an entreprenuer.

The late Bruce Lee was a huge fan of boxing and would sparr regularly with boxers. He even entered a few amateur boxing competitions in his early years.

The actress in "Million Dollar Baby" (can't remember her name) has become a boxing convert and she trains and spars whenever she gets a chance.

Many other successfull boxers have moved onto coaching, managing, and doing other things.

Hillary Swank took up boxing? Well took long enough for a hollywood type to pony up and start seriously learning the moves they are made to look like they have in the movies. Good on her!

I watched a middleweight fight last Thursday night.
One man spoke 4 languages and had a degree is sports medicine.
The other man spoke 5 languages.

That's impressive if you ask me. Besides, they're making money off of doing something they love. Nothings smarter than that.

Arturo Gatti speaks 4 languages fluently!
