    Light heavy clash .,Yep Durelle was no world beater with so many losses , but what if we pitch the version who gave Archie a great battle in 58 against Moorer ?
    Moorer was never fully tested at light heavy , would he be here ?

    Durelle would severely test MM due to his "let's rumble" style.
    But MM's southpaw style would eventually get to Durelle resulting
    in a 10 round TKO stoppage.
     
    InMemoryofJakeLamotta and Fergy like this.

    Could be a good little rumble ,and if MM takes him lightly as Archie did he could be in for a surprise. Durelle would certainly try and I believe have moment s of success. Moorer is only to happy to engage and we see a mini war .But as u say , Michael would eventually cut through blasting him .A out gunned but brave Yvon is pulled out late on .

    Moorer blows him out en route to a mid-rounds ko.

    Durelle was tough. I think this would be a LHW war with Moorer coming out on top

    Durelle was as tough as they come, with a good punch to boot. He certainly had the power and ability to badly rattle Moorer's cage.

    Moorer is a huge LHW however, one of the biggest in recent memory actually. Durelle would be at a substantial disadvantage from the get go in what really probably wouldn't ever turn into any other kind of fight, except for a fire fight.
