Is John Duddy Over-Rated??

[The Shadow]

Wait a second...he started name calling on one of my favored boxers, I mean really? A bum? A 19-0 Bum....That is a harsh word to me and I dont think it was called for. Hate me I dont care, you wanna dish it out , I can too.

He's had weak opposition and has sub-mediocre defensive skills. He gets hit entirely too much. He's a fraud and will be exposed as such as soon as he steps up the competition. You're a fool if you think otherwise.

[No Contest]

We shall see...we shall see....

[Tysonbruno]

Gatti takes way to many punches he won world titles why can't Duddy he likes a war a true fighter

[The Shadow]

We shall see...we shall see....

He's in way over his head in a division that has plethora of far more talented fighters. He may have a little Iomann in him, but that's just not enough in a division stacked with talent.

[El Kabong]

He's a decent fighter it would have been better for him to fight at 154 if he could.

Andy Lee is about ready to fight him if that tells you anything.

I would like to see Duddy-Castillejo

[No Contest]

Andy Lee is a supermiddleweight and he looks damn impressive for only 7 fights. That kid has a bright future.

[Terp]

Bum is a bit harsh, but it's not too far off. How else do you describe a young fighter struggling with the ghost of Yori Boy Campos?

[No Contest]

Duddy is the best fighter ever in the history of boxing hands down Hes gonna knockout all the middleweights then move up to super knock em all out then up to heavyweight just for kicks...Take that haters.

[Tysonbruno]

Can i join your John Duddy gang

[No Contest]

Yeah sure, you get jumped in by ordering one of his overpriced pay-per-views All you guys have points about his defense, I just watched the Duddy Vs Bonsante fight. If he improves there he will be in alot better shape. I think his main problem is he throws alot and leaves himself way too open afterwards. But his fights are always fun to watch, and I'm Irish , so f you if you dont like him.

[Tysonbruno]

So what he leaves himself open but he loves a fight and thats good not everyone wants to watch a defensive masterclass and he has some power in them guns 15 inside 19 wins cant be ignored

[TyBuff]

With only 19 pro bouts its hard to call him a bum. Is he worth all of the hype.....yes and no. If you want excitement then he is the guy to watch, if you are looking for an opportunity to watch the sweet science at a high level then he is not the guy to watch. He still has a lot of potential if he can find a defense somewhere, and learn to move his head he will have more staying power. At the very least I think he will be one of those fighters that is on the edge of being part of the upper echelon. We will know more about his potential longevity in the coming year.

And what happened whenever Gatti fought a boxer?

Well, bear in mind that Duddy gets hit entirely too much. That's an equation for a very short career. It makes for entertaining fights, but at what cost to Duddy.
Countryman or not, I have to be realistic and call a spade a spade. He's a nice enough fellow, and has a great personality which is refreshing, but he just doesn't have
the skills to compete on an Elite level.
Andy Lee looks like a freakishly gifted diamond in the ruff. From what I've seen, although it's quite early on in his career, he has the potential of being an all time great.

[Wacko3205]

Duddy is a poor man's Gatti...if there could actually be such a thing.

IWO...he's an accident waiting to happen. Waaaaaaaaaay to unpolished.
