What utter tosh hooky, Locketts average and hasnt even got a workrate to make him a threat to Duddy...and quite what these boxing skills are im not too sure!!

Even peak Lockett circa 2001 was poor, he can stick to his WBU belt and Duddy will stick to finishing Eastman on December 8th!!!

As for Macklin, some good posts, I pick Duddy but realise it could be split opinions!!!

Agreed Duddy is no more overrated than Lockett is. It would probably be a decent scrap though as they both like to come forward and defence isn't exactly their strong point. I think Duddy is better in nearly every department though.

Izz it because I izz Welsh :)

I must be the only one who can see that Duddy is all hype I guess, must be my glasses.

PS Pocketrocket you know you would have any Irish fighter to beat anyone else no matter who it was!!

I swear you would pick Bernard Dunne to beat Alexander Povetkin.....

Quality lines, brought a big grin to my face!!!

I do think there is a differance between being 'overhyped' and 'all hype'..I think Duddy has a few faults and isnt as good as Andy Lee(blindingly obvious comment of the day) but is is good enough to mix at world class, maybbe becoming a belt holder, thought never the top man

We learn a lot on the 8th!!

You forget Lockett hits like a horse
