Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Esteban DeJesus...

As Lightweights, & over fifteen, rounds, how do you see this?

I see a Chavez decision, myself. He was a beast at 135.

 

I rather like Dejesus here.

 

Chavez by competitive, yet clear decision.

 

Chavez would have beaten all of Duran's 135lb opponents.

 

Chavez by competeitve decision in a classic

 

Mmmmm... I see where you're headed. Another Duran hater. Too bad Chavez wouldnt have beaten Palimino at 147, let alone Leonard.

Duran>>>>> Chavez.

 

Being fair, Chavez isn't nearly as well-suited to climbing in weight as Duran was.

 

Agreed. You're preaching to the choir.

 

DeJesus & Buchanan are much better lightweights (or junior Lightweights) than anyone Chavez ever beat. I would personally regard De Jesus as a better fighter than Meldrik Taylor or Hector Camacho, too.

I think De Jesus/Chavez is essentially a pick 'em.

 

I most certainly would not.

 

DeJesus was a helluva techncian, and certainly had better firepower then Taylor, but he lacked Mel's handspeed and workrate which gave Chavez so much trouble.

And also... Chavez was pretty damn AMAZING at 135. The only lightweights Ive ever seen who I'd favor over JCC at 135 are Whitaker, Duran, and MAYBE Carlos Ortiz.

 

I too would rate dejesus higher than taylor... close, but better
