    But you don't understand, I have illustrated why Wright is not the man to give Joe any trouble.

    Jab - Neutralised

    Trouble with movers - Check

    No power - Joe isn't afraid to eat some to dish some, in this case, even less so.

    Wright being weak to the body - Joe being a tremendous body puncher.

    Wright's speed not near Joe's - Check

    Size - Hmm, I wonder who is bigger.:D

    Styles - Hmm, I wonder again, who has the styles advantage.

    Wright looking like **** at 170 - Check.

    I tell it like it is, if Wright had a chance, I'd mention that he had a chance, but he doesn't, he'd be stopped or shutout.

    You are in my top 10...but can only nominate 2...:-(

    (not because you are a top 10 analyst, but because you never buy the hype and keep a cool head on those shoulders! This is worth a lot.)

    Thanks mate. Its all good but, it is very hard to nominate people on this site, considering the amount of knowledgable people. The guys you picked are very under rated IMO.

    Indeed, I am banking on guys like Amsterdam, cross_trainer, achillesthegreat, China_hand_Joe, etc. to go through by default.

    Yeah I had the same train of thought also. I wanted people to go through who I didn't expect to be as popular. Guys like WhataRock are VERY under rated. IMO in terms of modern boxing, close to being the most knowledgable guy on the site.

    There was a time for about 10-15 posts where everytime he put something up I couldn't have agreed any more with what he had said. Posts are usually very well thought out, and extremely objective.

    I probably just jinxed the poor bloke, but if you ever get a chance to read his stuff I would be suprised if you didn't find the same thing.

    Not many people have nominated CHJ, because I don't think a lot of people understand his rational behind his posts.

    Because he is phenominal at neutralising a jab. Lead rights are his poison, this is common knowledge to anyone who watches Calzaghe fights.

    Yep, there are quite a few underrated guys. I have in example always enjoyed Requiems' posts, myself. I even forgot him in my honorable mentions.

    Prince Ciggs is underrated. But 'Red Corner' is a terrible poster.

    China_hand_Joe will definitely make the list! He is a knowledgeable analyst who deserves to be there.
