I believe that Jimmy Ellis would have been a more formidable light heavy than he was at heavyweight. Yvon Durelle was a pretty tough light heavy. So, at 175 lbs., who would win?

Ellis' HW run is quite cool on paper, but it has a lot to dispute. Ellis could outbox Durelle, but if Durelle had as much success against Ellis, like he had against Moore, Ellis won't survive.

Ellis by close dec or Durelle by KO at some point.

Ellis should win that one.
