    Of those guys, Chavez Jr. would be his best fight, both because he would win that fight and because he'd actually beat Chavez. He could possibly beat Mora as well, although Mora's a tricky fighter. If he's going to fight Foreman, he might as well just cash out and fight Pavlik because Foreman would beat him by wide decision anyway. He's just a much much better boxer than Duddy, even if he doesn't have a particularly fan-friendly style.

    What I'd like is to see him step up against a legitimate title challenger level fighter, someone like Randy Griffin.

    The Pavlik fight would be huge in NYC.

    A question though:

    What has happened to Duddy's power? Is he just fighting better fighters? I remember seeing him knocking people all over the place a few years back it just seems he has lost power? I admit I have not followed him closely as of late.

    Fighting better fighters, and his attack is more controlled now.

    I think the Chavez fight would be the best option, he can always fight Pavlik after to get a pay cheque. I would like to see him go and stay at 154 for the time being as I don't see him having the power at 160 to worry any of the top men, as was said above, once he fought anyone half decent e.g Eastman, Vanda he never got them in any trouble with his power. Go to 154 and fight anyone who's second name isnt Williams.

    I think he should fight Chavez Jr too it would slugfest and is a very winnable fight for Duddy then on to Foreman who I think John beats in a close fight. Then the big showdown with Pavlik:bbb In terms of punching power I think Duddy has fighting pretty durbale guys of late that why no Ko's:-(

    In terms of winning his next fight he should fight Chavez Jnr at 154, i believe if Duddy can boil down to 154 safeky at this stage he would be a bigger hitter and would return more ko's. In terms of financial benefit the biggest fight would of course be Pavlik but there is a huge chance this fight would not go the way of Duddy and that he would be viewed as damaged goods.
