John Duddy vs Mickey Ward

Duddy. Easily. Though Ward was a very skilled fighter. Irish Hammer what is your take on Andy Lee? All the fights accept Vera, he was pretty explosive. I do some work for Emanuel's Stewards daughter and got to have lunch with him the other day. We starting talking about Lee and he kept telling me that he was sick that night. I wouldn't be surprised to hear this from any trainer when his fighter lost, but he was pretty adamant about it and he is a all around honest and genuine guy. After watching as many of Andy's fights as I could, I did notice that he was very slow, flat footed, and lethargic in that fight. Something that did not show up in any of the other. Emanuel also told me Vera won't sign a rematch, probably smart on his part though. What do you think about all that, since your obviously into the Irish fighters?

Mickey Ward had a "prime"? These guys both let people use their heads as punching bags.

i wish this was a public poll. In this case I certainly agree.

who the hell is voting for a 140 pounder to beat a 160 pound middleweight? there is no way ward would win, he would lose terribly. end of discussion. lb for lb, ward was a better fighter, but even then not by much. he was entertaining as hell, but neither of these guys are that good.

13-10 for Ward....amazing :nonono:

Well the score is 11-10 Ward i ddint make up those scores now did i? u bald headed eagle It sure doesn't say much for the boxing IQ of the people voting.

Well the score is 11-10 Ward i ddint make up those scores now did i? u bald headed eagle No..but you did enlighten us to your boxing stupidity. Thank you. May Tye Fields smile down upon you.

The fact that you are asking people to matchup a Middleweight with a Jr. Welterweight merits a deletion of this thread. And possibly a banishment. Well the score is 11-10 Ward i ddint make up those scores now did i? u bald headed eagle

Why are we matching a junior welterweight against a middleweight? Let's match up Kelly Pavlik versus Ricky Hatton. Or Arthur Abraham against Junior Witter. Or how about Marvin Hagler versus Aaron Pryor? (oh wait, people have questioned why that never took place)

Key wins for Ward: - Arturo Gatti (viewed by a gift by many fans) - Emmanuel Augustus (An even bigger gift) Howard Eastman and Yori Boy are a lot better wins then two controvesial decisions. Duddy doesn't have a good resume (more of a meh), but Ward didn't even have one... Maybe there isn't that much difference in the quality of their wins, but Ward's win over Augustus was deserved, and Eastman and Campas were well into their 30's and considerably past their primes.

Duddy is 20 lbs bigger. Ward wouldn't have a chance, even though P4P he was the better fighter.

duddy would win

Definitely not. There is a 20 pound difference between the two. Duddy is four inches taller. He would just overwhelm Ward in a very exciting, but rather unskilled fight.

IMO Ward packs a bigger punch, and not to mention a chin made of bricks' duddy probably has size, but ward would punch him out. Duddy is 20 lbs bigger. Ward wouldn't have a chance, even though P4P he was the better fighter.

Duddy is too big, though skill wise they are about on the same level.
