    A "What If" fighter if there ever was one. If only Duran wasnt around during Esteban's best years at lightweight, he could have achieved so much more.

    But how would he have really went if he had been at his peak in the 80's, 90's and 00's.

    How would he gone against these fighters...

    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Pernell Whitaker
    Greg Haugen
    Edwin Rosario
    Ray Mancini
    Miguel Angel Gonzalez
    Shane Mosley
    Stevie Johnston
    Floyd Mayweather
    Jose Luis Castillo
    Paul Spadafora
    Juan Diaz
    Nate Campbell

    How much of DeJesus' win over Duran was a result of DeJesus being "great", and how much a result of Duran not being in shape? Duran pounded his way through him in the second fight and pretty much outclassed him in the third.

    I would take DeJesus over Haugen, Spadafora, and Campbell, but it's hard to tell with some of the others on this list.
