	Archie Moore's Most Memorable Triumph
		Durelle had previously held the Canadian middleweight title and had attempted to win the Canadian heavyweight title also, but had been a KO victim to a young slugger named George Chuvalo.
		Durelle went through a tough patch in his career in the mid-1950s, losing eight of 12 encounters, including a KO loss to another prominent opponent, future heavyweight champ Floyd Patterson, in May of 1955.
		Durelle persevered, however, and went on to post a solid 22-2-1 mark in the two-and-a-half years preceding his fateful opportunity to fight for the world title.

	The Very Best Books : The fighting fisherman: The life of Yvon Durelle
		I have read the book on Yvon Durelle at least several times since it was first published.
		As a 11 year old kid growing up in a small fishing village in Nova Scotia during the time Yvon was at the height of his career, he will never know the impact he made on our daily lives.
		I feel it was an honest attempt to relate the story of Yvon - but I do feel that more of it should have dealt with the challenges he faced in his boxing career - and less to depict his personality - or the way the author perceived him.
