    We have a thread on De Jesus’ hall of fame credentials, I want to know what his chances are over Pacquaio at 135?
    We know Esteban can beat Duran, can he outbox Pacquaio over 12 or does Pacs physical strength wear him down..
    I’m not sure how many southpaws De Jesus fought?

    Dejesus by UD , Manny's record at 135 was a title win over Manny Diaz. Of Course this was the pre-steroid version of Manny

    Pacquiao by slaughter. DeJesus wasn't that good. Yea , he picked up a win against Duran when he probably caught him at the right moment, but he wouldn't have been strong enough.
