Are you really claiming intelligence doesn't serve you in a fight? Do you even realize that a fight is thinking on the fly, and acting and reacting to your foe. All the gameplanning in the world doesn't mean a fight will play out that way. Jesus Froth, stop trying to argue with me for the sake of trying to make a point. Think about any professional sport in existence. Intelligence serves you. You could be the most athletically gifted person in the world, but if your head isn't straight.. what happens? We see it time and time again. Just like we see the most not athletically gifted people use their intelligence to play with, and in some cases surpass, what a more athletically gifted does or accomplishes. You aren't new to sports right? Even combat sports. Intelligence always, helps, it's one of the most important attributes one can have in a fight. If you're able to instantly process information, draw a conclusion and then strategize how to implement said favorable situations... that isn't helpful?
Um again, we actually know he's intelligent fighter, ya know, cause he never had a blow landed on him. Not all of those situations were prep. He didn't prep to fight the comedian, in fact he through away weapons to insta kill him because he wanted a fight. Again, think about the "fight" with Dr. M. sure he prepped for it in a way, and wouldn't have been able to put Dr. M in the position he did without some prep. True. However, he still had to adapt to the situation on the fly. He didn't know what Dr. M would try or do or say. That is part of winning a fight. He won. Again processing of info. He wasn't hit because he's faster than everybody and the peak of what a human can be physically. That's his thing. He's the best. You don't get to that point by not being smart. Do you honestly think somebody like Ozy, the smartest guy on the planet, somehow turns off all he's learned and knows during a fight?? He just goes, yeah, I will block everything out in the mind as I fight. Come on. If Ozy is there he's thinking. Always. Vastly faster and better than WS is thinking.
On the contrary, let's see, WS was hit a great deal of times, sometimes by mere humans no less. He's been wrapped up in holds, albeit somewhat briefly. He was caught in an amateur move by Cap to go to bed. All of that never happened to Ozy. He was never put in holds, hit by a punch or kick, put to sleep. Shit, he never needed to be saved from being killed. His fighting record is okay, it's decent, but what it illustrates is that he's not the smartest fighter around. Nor even the most skilled. When somebody doesn't get hit, or tied up or disarmed or put to the sleep.. yeah I'd say he's the smarter fighter wouldn't you?
