    yeah, in this day and time, you can get ranked 1 in the world by not actually fighting a top 10 person EVER.

    I'm shocked he's at no2 but that is the WBO who ranked Lockett for Pavlik's last Middleweight defence:yikes

    I thought Duddy was going to fight Ronald Hearns.

    That's more or less how I feel. Would make sense as a voluntary defense for Pavlik.

    He was supposed to be fighting Hearns early next year but he's after leaving his promoter so i can't see him doing much soon.i'd like to see himself and Mora though.

    Legal issues with Irish Ropes means it could be a while before Duddy gets back in the ring. It seems he will campaign at 154 also so the 160 rankings are obsolete now. If he gets a few tune ups I don't see why he couldnt get a fight with Forrest or Santos. Id stay way from Williams.

    it's amazing how far a guy can get with no defence and the right passport.

    Duddy's management screwed up by not taking that Pavlik shot a while back. He screwed himself out of a big pay day to look bad and get cut up by a bum.

    is he ready for a title shot? and if so which belt do you think he has a chance of winning.
    i believe pavlik holds wbo and wbc,sturm holds wba,abraham holds ibf and i am not certain who holds ibo?
    or would he be better off fighting at 154 and challenge for a title there?
