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.
For a fighter at his age with his number of fights, he has had GREAT competition. I would guess you think Kelly Pavlik is hugely overrated and a bum, too? He's 30 fights into his career and his resume is roughly the same as Duddy's. Duddy is not overrated. I don't know anyone who thinks he's a top 5 MW right now. Is he a top 15 or top 10. Absolutely, even with his current flaws.

He's only an accident waiting to happen if he gets in the ring with Miranda, Taylor, Wright, Abraham, maybe Sturm or Soliman. Wacko, I know Pavlik is your boy, but I'll tell you this, if Pavlik fought Duddy, Duddy would be the best fighter Pavlik has faced by a long shot. Yes, resume is not everything, and I would agree that Pavlik is more polished than Duddy, but we KNOW Duddy has heart and chin, two elements of a great fighter. Do we know any of that about Pavlik? Seems to me Miranda is pretty unpolished, too, and he's doing OK for himself. Power and a chin can get you a long way.

19 fights. 19 Fights. This guy is not a finished product, and he is WAY ahead of were most guys are at his stage. If he wants to be great, there are areas he needs to improve.
