    Wonder who is has lined up next. Hopefully someone who tells him not to use his face for defence.

    His over rated and not as good as they like to make out.

    He could get any trainer he wants but he has limited ability and has gone as far as he can.

    As who makes out? Everyone says he's ****... I think he's under-rated and actually pretty good. One bad performance isn't the ened of the world- and least we know he can take a shot. Don't think i've seen anyone take that kind of punishment and stay upright since Gatti.

    All the commentators make out as if he is some great white hope.

    Not just the Walid fight, he looked shitty against Eastman as well. The likes of Arthur Abraham would eat him for breakfast (and I do not rate him very highly).

    He was awesome against Campus. He's got nice skills. The Eastman fight was a tricky one stylistically... nobody has an easy fight with Eastman. I don't know Kurt I think he's got something.

    The link in the opening post says he is now being trained by miami based Pat Burns - who previously trained Jermaine Taylor.

    I think he has peaked and will not progress any further whoever trains him.

    Oli Harrisson has a bit of spare time on his hands if Duddy wants to train in England.

    I would normally have a vested interest in rooting for Duddy, as I have with fellow countrymen Lee, Dunne and McCloskey, but I think the guy just looks terrible in the ring; just looks like he doesn't belong in there.

    I don't think the trainer has been born yet that can turn Duddy into world title material, not after seeing his life-and-death struggle with Campas and the absymal majority win against unknown Schmidt. However, if they change the rules and started giving out points to the fighter who head-butts the knuckle-part of the opponent's glove the most, then Duddy will by P-4-P no.1
