Saying AD Sion is a "decent" duelist when he ults is a huge understatement. No one can outduel him if he has a high AD build. When I go Sion, I rush a Hydra for superfarming my E, get an Atma's, and then try to go for BotRK. This more often than not results in: ~250 AD, 3K HP, and, without ult, 30% lifesteal. He can usually outtrade anything without ult. But then ult, and he can definitely out trade, unless exhausted/ignited/hit by a Darius W. His problem isn't dueling- his problem is that he is melee, with only one ranged spell, no escapes or engage skill (stun can easily wear off before he gets there), and as such is super susceptible to kiting and CC.

A fed AD Sion is a force to be reckoned with though. By minute 30, he could easily take on 3 champs by himself with his ult on and a Hydra. CHOP CHOP CHOP
