    Prime Matthew Saad Muhammad 1979 vs Prime Yvon Durelle 1958, 175 lbs, 15 rounds. Durelle gave Archie Moore one of his tougher title defenses in Dec 1958, scoring knockdowns. Who takes this match and why?

    I’d don’t have a lengthy analysis to provide but I think I’d go with Saad Muhammad. He reigned a division for a while.
