But that's an act. He's not stupid.

Not sure about that tbh, don't really see much to the contrary, and besides, acts are perfectly compatible with being a stupid sh!t anyway. Unless we think a guy like Broner is actually some brilliant mind and performance artist

I didn't say AB. I said Fury. I've seen him on serious interviews and he's quite articulate and thoughtful when he wants to be.

Oh really, I can't read mate so I didn't know that we were talking about Fury. I've seen him being 'thoughtful' and he's never really struck me as anything other than a fairly dim and very ignorant man overall.

The guys who say/do the wild stuff get too much credit for 'acting'

I'd actually be interested in what Fury has said that stands out as intelligent

Again I said thoughtful and articulate. Go watch some interviews soon after he came back.

People expect Fury to be a complete dribbling mess of a man given his background and what he does for a living, the fact he can answer a few questions and can be pretty amusing off the cuff has them shocked, but it doesn’t make him super intelligent!

Anyway, super bright people don’t end up Heavyweight champions, they don’t usually end up boxers. They realise it’s not great for the health :lol:

Many forms of intelligence. Wayne Rooney might not be much for witty banter, but it takes a very specially tuned mind to do what he could do in his prime. I'm sure he would score very high in spatial awareness on an IQ test.

As Wayne has tattooed on his arm “just enough education to perform “. Love that saying, and album.

I scored 145 on an IQ test as a kid, it's got me precisely nowhere, so go figure.

There's a difference between uneducated and lack of intelligence.

Fury went to private school I'm sure, and his name is Luke. He knows how to sell a persona.
