    I rate Dunne and McCloskey higher over here.

    Sutherland also looks like a good prospect for the pro game.

    I just don't think John's ring-skills are up to the task at the top level, but I've been wrong before and I will undoubtedly be wrong again; so you never know I suppose.

    This is an excellent match-up, and a very hard fight to call. Duddy's new trainer Pat Burns is talking about bringing him down to junior middleweight and altering his style so that he boxes and moves. Thus, Foreman vs. Duddy at 154 lbs. could turn into a fast paced chess match in the ring.

    I disagree with those of you who believe that Foreman would easily outbox Duddy. When Duddy wants to, he can be a very quick and competent boxer. Duddy may box just as effectively as Foreman on the outside.

    I would love to see this fight made...it's a fascinating match-up for fans in the northeastern U.S.
