Jimmy Young. He was like the Chris Byrd of his time. No pop behind his punches, but fast as hell. He beat George Foreman easy and lost a highly controversial decision to Muhammad Ali---and still to this day most people will tell you Young landed far more punches, just they were not as hard as Ali's.

Ellis was a good boxer in his own right, beating guys like Jerry Quarry and all for the WBA version of the title---he was pretty quick for a man nearly 230 pounds and had some good punching power.

But all in all I see Young winning via 15 round decision, like 115-112 or something in that order.

I see a draw in a very, very, very boring fight.

Maybe got the two Jimmy Ellis's mixed up? I'd go with Young over either Ellis by decision.

I see Ellis winning a decision over 10 or 15 rounds.

This is exactly the first thing I thought the second I saw the title of this post.
You would be hard pressed to think of more boring fight between quality opponents. Pep vs Whitaker anyone?
