Seems every sence he tried to get out of his contract with Irish Ropes his career has come to stand still.atsch He his highly rated both 154 and 160 and is big draw in New York City he and Pavlik would sell out the Garden:good Duddy could fight Sergio Mora both men need a big win:yep Or Yuri Foreman both he Duddy are big in New York City:hey How about a showdown between Julio Ceser Chavez JR and John Duddy:happy These are all winnable fights for John at 154. If Duddy wants a shot at Pavlik all has to do is win a box off with Sebastian Zbik to become the WBO mandatory:bbbI do think Irish Ropes was mismanaging Duddy a bit the Hill and Hearns fights did seem like good bouts for Duddy and this point, Hill because Duddy might have got cut in a low grade club fight and Hearns because 6'3 Hearns is a tough foe but pretty unknown Duddy would not get that credit for win over him:bart
I will never understand the disrespect John Duddy get around here:huh He is always in good fights with lots of action and gives your money worth :nono Unlike boring fighters like Hopkins,Mayweather and Wright:tired
hes back in ireland . he is supposedly being lined up to fight in msg on paddys weekend with andy lee also featuring
Yes I also heard talk Duddy might fight Brain Vera on the Lee Garden card:bbbI hope it happens that would be a real slugfest:good
i think vera fights at supermiddle...so he might b a bit big for john...who is now campaigning at lightmiddle:good
It would be!!! Duddy has the better chin but Kirkland has more fire power but I give edge in boxing skill to Duddy:deal
50/50 for me, both would be exhausted by mid rounds from non stop attacking whoever gets that final knockout punch will win it. i loved the kirland-vera fight i think duddy-kirkland would be just as entertaining but closer
Just read an article on Duddy by thomas Hauser which made particularly sad reading. I don't expect to see Duddy any time soon while he's caught up in litigation with the crooked O Loughlin brothers from Irish Ropes promotions. It's a real shame as he appears to have been naive and consistently ripped off by his promotors/managers. John's at an age were he needs to be making hay not sitting in court rooms. Damn Shame if ya ask me.....
Just read a article that Duddy is now free to fight without Irish Ropes by court order and could fight as soon as Feb:happy
here is the article by Thomas Hauser on duddy http://www.secondsout.com/Columns/index.cfm?ccs=208&cs=53435
I am sure Duddy will do well now that he is free of Irish Ropes not only is he a good fighter but is a big draw here on Eastcoast. I have read that Alfred Angulo wants too fight Duddy what a war that would be!!!:bbb
