Re: Most Improved Fighters
Well if you bothered to read my original post about this I said "bar Williams"...but Pavlik hasn't fought in a while AND he is rumored to have various issues aside from just the broken hand. Sturm is a little middleweight and Sergio Mora is a bastard and other than that I won't speak of him.
I just say Duddy has a good chance, it's not a deep division.

Mora might be a bastard, but his only loss came to the late great Vernon Forrest whom he beat to become an actual legit world champion, not to some washed up journeyman :-\
Re: Most Improved Fighters
Mora also has a draw with Elvin Ayala and two very close fights with Peter Manfredo Jr. so let's not act like he's invincible.

Exactly and his win against Forrest was damn close and Forrest was nowhere near the fighter that beat Mosley when he fought Mora. To me he was never the same after the Mayorga fights!

Duddy has heart and he can put his punches together pretty good. I figured Duddy's best chances were at 154, but 160 isn't that deep right now.
Williams, Sturm, Pavlik, even Mora all beat Duddy, he's just not too good, his defense sucks, and he's slower than he thinks he is (keeps his hands too low), he fights a dumb fight 9 times out of 10
I forgot to list Mora but yeah I agree with you on all counts...
Duddy get's beat.
