John Duddy v Arturo Gatti

 

Ok, first i am slightly biased in this one. John Duddy is/was my favourite fighter before he retired, but if you consider his feartless come-forward style along with his solid chin, i think this would have made for a helluva fight against the late great Gatti.

 

Gatti was no doubt a better technical boxer, he had better and faster movement too. But as most Gatti fights show, he could get in the trenches with anyone when he needed to.

 

This fight could have taken place at light-middleweight/super-welterweight. I always had this as my dream fight....what do you guys think?

I think I'd go for Duddy to win but based mainly on the size. If P4P then Gatti is a level above interms of skill though would be an exciting contest.

duddy has the size, but i dont know... somehow i think a prime gatti pulls it out like 7 rounds to 5

Gatti competed in the smaller weight classes,but he was also huge for those weight classes.He was a middleweight when he was fighting as a junior welterweight.

 

 

Duddy being the naturally bigger man would probably allow him to be competitive and last the distance,but Gatti's superior boxing ability should give him the edge
