I'd take the craftier and trickier Duran to win a decision in an excellent bout.

a peak Shane Mosley may have been a class below Duran. But DeJesus was 4 classes below Duran and won.
This is far from a cake walk and your IT"S A DIFFERENT CLASS generic answer doesn't always work.

Mosley would of beaten DeJesus. Duran would of won against Mosley but he would have his hands full.
You are too dismissive when it comes to Duran

At Lightweight I'd say Duran beats Mosley. At Welterweight it's probably a tougher night for Duran. Either way I think we're looking at a hard fought decision win. Nobody is getting stopped in this one.

Mosley was a dominant fighter at 135. Duran wins by a decision, but close

They both were. They were both total badasses at Lightweight.

Esteban De Jesus was a fantastic boxer. He is not four classes below the great Roberto Duran. They were particularly even class.

Shane Mosley was strong and fast, but lacked the ring generalship that Duran or De Jesus would bring to the table. He did too many mistakes in the ring.
