Talk:John Duddy

message: This guy is something else.  He can take a shot and land a harder shot.  He also is a quick learner.  Pernell Whitacker critiqued Duddy's posture in the ring (during one Friday Night Fights where Whitacker was the guest announcer).... In Duddy's next fight he already addressed the issue, he was no longer standing completely straight.  --jorgekluney
I've been hooked on him since his fight with Lenord Pierre on ESPN2.  He's got incredible hand speed, and really knows how to box.

message: The recent changes here are ridiculous, can we not start getting into a points scoring exercise please?!  He was born in Derry city, lets leave it at that.  You willl never see an article saying  boxer was born in Belfast, County Antrim or Manchester, County Lancashire.  When it reads Derry, Nothern Ireland there is no doubt where he's born Dodge 13:38, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: wasn't aimed at you Vintagekits, but there was a lot of unneccessary edits made.  I think it looks grand now, is 100% perfect factually and should be left alone Dodge 11:00, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: fair enough, I'll leave it but still think it should be Derry City Vintagekits 12:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well Derry City is a disamb page that directs to Derry, so thats why it was changed. Dodge 18:48, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Derry/Londonderry

message: Does anybody else know why the picture was removed?  The person who removed it is an "administrator", but he just came in here, stripped us of our only picture, and left the rather vague comment "an image with a fair use tag which is patently unrelated to the content of the image. (CSD I7)."  Does anybody know what this means?  As far as I know, this image wasn't violating any rules or anything.  The problem seems to be that there wasn't a good tag on the image, but if I recall correctly, there was a perfectly good tag.  Anyone know anything else?  I think a picture is pretty much essential for this page to not suck.

replies: text: I know the guys at Irish-boxing.com and some at Camp Duddy/Irish Ropes so I've added one of his promo shots - so I've sorted it Vintagekits 21:42, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks Vintagekits.  I think the page looks a lot better with that picture.  Hopefully nobody else will come along and try to remove it! Capmaster 03:30, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Picture

message: Does anybody else think it would be safe to have the disambiguation page automatically direct to John Duddy (boxer)?  I think that 95% of people who are going to be looking for "John Duddy" will probably be looking for this one, not the one involved in "The Massacre of Braybrook Street".  This is amplified by the fact that the other John Duddy doesn't even have his own page, but rather just his name mentioned on the "Massacre of Braybrook Street" page.  Tell me what you think.

thread_title: Disambiguation Page

message: I added a ratings box so that it's easier to correct the ratings when they change.  If you guys don't like the box, feel free to remove it/revert it.  Somehow it doesn't seem on the right spot on the page, but I'll leave that for you guys to decide where to put it.  Also if you think of some more organizations to put in there, feel free to add them, or if you don't think some of them belong, go ahead and remove them.  Capmaster 22:33, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I like, I like  - its a keeper, nice and clear and as you say easy to edit/add to in future Vintagekits 13:34, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Ratings Box

message: Does anyone think a fight history such as the ones that are on boxrec.com should be added?  I'm talking about like a table that lists all of the fights, opponents, dates, rounds, and round times.  I've looked around, and most boxers' pages don't have them, but nearly all of the MMA pages I've worked on do.  I think it would be a big plus to have, but I'm all for uniformity on the boxing pages.  What do you guys think?  Capmaster 03:26, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nah Camp, I think it would be too bulky, we already have a link the Boxrec which would have the exact info anyway.--Vintagekits 20:26, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Boxrec's current information of Duddy is incorrect anyways. They list his nationality as United Kingdom, when it's Irish and was confirmed to be by John's camp. 193.1.184.254 11:38, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fight History

message: John was recently given two awards: the Rocky Marciano Award  and the Sports Personality of the Year Award .  I'm not sure who gave these out.  Do you think they are significant enough to put on the page?  Capmaster 22:11, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: oh yeah! stick them in. Also change the title to plain old "John Duddy". regards--Vintagekits 22:24, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  stats plz 

message: It looks like BoxRec has changed its policies and Duddy now has an Irish flag by his name. I think that calls for the removal of the BoxRec section in this bio since it's now outdated.MKil (talk) 14:41, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
