    McGuigan could have faced Esparragoza had he beaten Steve Cruz back in 1986. How does the Clones Cyclone handle the tall, lanky, power punching and boxing skills of Esparragoza? Could he have beaten Esparragoza with his nonstop pressure much like he did against Pedroza or does he get thrashed similar to Steve Cruz when he fought Esparragoza?

    Might be one of the rare MMs where location could decide the winner.

    In the UK, Barry might outfight Esparragoza down the stretch.

    In Texas or Vegas, Esparragoza kicks Barry's ass.

    Overall, I consider Esparragoza a better fighter. He was ranked top 3 P4P at one point. Mcgugian never reached that high a level.
