slapbangwhallop says that John Duddy 'is no worse than Barker'.
I say Barker is quite clearly better.
What say you?

Whilst I would say that Barker is the better boxer I actually think that Duddy would beat him if they ever fought. My only fear is that Duddy might have lost some of his desire for the game following and the shenanigans with Irish Ropes etc but that will be answered in the Chavez fight.
But in the immortal words of Harold H. Hill "there is only one way to find out who is the best....FIIIIIIGHT!!!!!"
I would point out that if we had a similar poll with Lee and Barker prior to the Belgacham fight then poster on here would gone for Barker in a landslide - I suspect it might not be so convincing a result anymore.

The Derry Destroyer.
Duddy is a better fighter than Belghecam so stick him in with Barker, get Barker in another brawl like that and there can only be one result - a Duddy victory

I'm just trying to be more subtle than resorting to straight up personal insults!
I must have missed Duddy's impressive performances.

Dont be taking things personal Ian - its 'almost' all in jest for God's sake! ;)
Just to prove how much of a Brit I am I will head down to my local polling station today and put a cross in the box for UKIP! Well maybe not.

If Barker is an A- then Duddy is a C+ at best.....he fights with his face and is more limited than the Englishman

Duddy's ability aside - but if you think that Barker is an A- level operator on the world scene then my opinion of you opinion has taken a dip. A- operators don't have their arses battered by the likes of C level fighter like Belgacham.

No, I was talking about the comparison between the two Slap.
On the world scene, I'd say Barker is a B and I'll be kind and say Duddy is a C....

I voted Barker. I honestly think he would beat Duddy Lee and Macklin. I really hope these fights happen.

Barker is a double AA/BB on the London scene, ya know. Duddy is A - 2 in certain parts of Ireland but is a staggering B + FY (x4) in Scotland, which means they are not too keen on him. In other words, the Scots are double DD'd on Duddy.
you forgot to carry the 1 Tel - this means the calculation is inverted! ;)

That's my view, Hurlock.
Regardless, the British and Irish people have spoken and this Polling Station is now shut.
Hardly the landslide victory I expected but it's a clear, workable, majority.
