In reality Duddy is nothing but a rough rough diamond. He's been gifted already on a number of occasions and stumbled at such obstacles as Howard Eastman and even the Italian Alessio Forlan.
As I mentione in a previous thread I felt the introduction of Don Turner into Duddy's camp would be of great benefit, however, John has failed to evolve and looked rather ordinary and beatable in recent outings. I wish him well and would dearly love to see a countryman succeed but I feel he lacks the physical size and power to impose his style upon the middleweight division.

Lee is a different proposition. If I'm correct he is now 24, has a fantastic amateur pedigree and seems to excel with each fight and training camp. His defensiveness is underrated as he hasn't shown it in the pro's, so I urge you to remember, in the amateurs andd even the Olympics he was famed for his elusiveness and tight defense, not his offense!

I would dearly love to see both succeed, however, I feel there will be one top level Irish Middleweight. Judging on recent form, apparent potential and development, I defy anyone to tell me that Lee doesn't look like he will be a lot better than Duddy.
