That Bum. I think his name is Duddy

[Kirkland Laing]

Well sorry Tunisia isn't represented very well in the US.

Sure Gatti is Italian but he's also Canadian.


Fighting and drawing fans is all about style and marketing....Duddy has some really good managers they have built him into a big money fighter.

If the Tunisian guy is really any good he'll make something of himself. Look at Tua, Ibeabuchi, Ouma, Miranda, Golota....those guys came from various countries not extremely well represented in America and people got behind them

So you agree that Gatti/Duddy are infinitely more marketable than the Tunisian guy. Excellent.

The Tunisian guy isn't good enough to do much more than be an opponent-type fighter. He isn't an exceptional boxer which is the only way a promoter will bother with a fighter with no big potential fanbase.

as i'm reading the post i see a bunch of fanboys calling me an idoit for my statement but not to many reasons to back up why i'm an idiot.

You guys might like watching him but he look like shit to me. If you don't like it tough.

I was at the fight, and everyone in the audience seemed to believe that Duddy lost. In fact, when it was announced that Duddy had won, even the pro-Duddy crowd booed.

I find Duddy an entertaining fighter. You will never see him in a bad fight, he gives it his all. I don't think he will ever be a world champion as he has some glaring weaknesses, but any chance I get to see him fight, I will be there.

Listen to what he says here, he was willing to go out there and slug more, just to appease the fans. He has a heart of a lion, and I respect that more than anything.

Your a waste of time thats why. Your really disrespectful using the term bum, thats why you got bad rep from me and thats why I think your a douchebag. I dont have to explain why I am a fan of any boxer, but I will because it's easy with Duddy. For one he is always respectful unlike you. You never hear him talking trash before a fight or after and he fights to please the fans, which is refreshing in todays money matters most society. He is always in exciting fights, you cant deny that, you can argue that he may have lost but you can't deny the action packed fight. He's got a solid chin and heart to match. I don't always like the perfect boxers like everyone else, I like guys that have flaws but rise above them to win, and thats what real warriors do. Is that good enough for you? Seriously why all the Duddy hate? Dont hate appreciate.

That is too funny, I am sure no one will confuse John Duddy with Willie Pep but you don't call a fighter who toughs out a win like that a bum....both guys gave it their all and hell as a fan what more can you ask for?

You are an idiot... That's the reason

Duddy is certainly a "C" class fighter but no doubt a crowd pleaser and he will put asses in seats and because of his heart and determination he will capture a few suprise memorable wins against top comp..
