    Azumah Nelson's best weight was at super featherweight so you would have to go for Esteban who was faster and better at lightweight than Nelson ever was.

    I was looking at Azumah Nelson last fight, can you remember who that was against in 2008? Surprised me.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    you are not talking about when he came back and fought Fenech( I think?) when they were around 50 years old are you.
    If you think you can......you can, if you think you can't .......you're right!

    Yes! I forgot all about that bad event.

    Dejesus took on and beat the best lightweight in history in Duran, Nelson lost to Leija at 135, it clearly wasn't his best weight

    Nelson would have beat Leija at any weight in his prime..

    If not for Roberto Duran we would be talking about Esteben De Jesus as one of the best Lightweights of all time. De Jesus won the first of their 3 epic encounters and knocked down Duran twice in successive fights 1 & 2.
    Nelson was at his best at Super Featherweight, at 135lb i give the edge to De Jesus who had a wicked left hook.

    but he wasn't in his prime at 135 at any point, that's my point entirely, Dejesus would have beat him at lightweight with not too much effort put in

    Asumah was an ATG at super featherweight, I do not know if Esteban De Jesus fought at that particular weight but if he did I would say Nelson wins.
