    DeJesus, maybe even by stoppage. Just a level or two above Haugen.

    There is not one blessed thing that Haugen can do that Dejesus can't do 3 times better. Dejesus on a late stoppage after outclassing Greg in almost every round.

    There are not two levels above Haugen. He was far more than the sum of his parts so breaking it down by attributes just doesn't register.

    Mutt beat a prime Camacho so speed alone doesn't dissuade him.

    I will give DeJesus the win by SD. Moral victory for Mutt.

    Lol.

    Camacho was hardly in his prime when he fought Haugen, stop it.

    I think Whitaker and Chavez both proved to be SEVERAL levels above Haugen.

    As for DeJesus, he might have been several levels above, but he was a level above and I think Haugen gets soundly beaten.

    DeJesus was only beaten in his prime by Duran and Cervantes.

    I dont think I have tell you that Haugen couldnt shine the shoes of either of those guys

    No such thing as two levels above Haugen? So what Chavez did to him represents one level? Hmmm.

    I guess Whitaker toying with him only represented one level also. Lol.

    DeJesus holds a win over arguably the best fighter that ever lived, but WATCH OUT, guys... theres no two levels over the immortal Greg Haugen!

    It all depends which Haugen you are talking about. When he hit the big time after the first Camacho fight, he was not the same Haugen. He partied and neglected his training something awful. The previous Haugen would have been a full night's work for anybody, IMO. He's not an All-Time Great, but he is an all-time tough guy, and he knew how to fight.

    DeJesus was on a different level, Haugen was a good fighter, but he would be soundly beaten by a prime DeJesus. Unanimous Decision or late stoppage for DeJesus.

    Haugen got stuck with that tough man contest tag but the man really knew how to box. That being said DeJesus was a hands down better fighter. DeJesus takes a wide UD IMO.

    Come on; Esteban was actually an elite fighter. Haugen was wee bit more than a Tijuana taxi cab driver he accused Chavez of fighting! ;)
