The main point with Duddy though is that he is a hugely exciting fighter, he's got a really solid chin, can punch and has a huge fanbase.

Whether he not he can beat all those guys is irrelevent.

I always make a point of watching Duddy fights, and if he were to lose a fght that wouldn't change things.

I hate in boxing the way fans feel a fighter shouldn't face someone who might beat him, really who cares.

In MMA even a top fighter rarely goes more than 4 or 5 fights without getting a loss it seems and it doesn't do their careers any harm.

Duddy at 154 would have a pick of entertaining fights for us fans to enjoy. I'd love to see him in with Kirkland, Julio or Angulo. Ishe Smith would be an interesting fight as well.

Whether he might lose doesn't make me want to see the fights any less. I honestly have no idea who would win all the fights above. I reckon Duddy would do a lot better than people think.

Him and Kirkland would be a great matchup. Kirkland is blowing guys away but how would he cope with a tough Irish kid like Duddy who can take a shot and come back himself? That would be a great fight and we'd learn things about both of them for sure.

We've seen Duddy dig deep and come back from being hurt but we havn't seen Kirkland have to extend himself yet.

Great fight imo.
I like Duddy too. Classy guy. Don't get me wrong. Tough as nails and for what he doesn't have in talent, he makes up for in heart. No doubt. I wouldn't want to see him fight Angulo - He'd rip him apart.
