To be vs to have
An international team has detected at least 18 huge gas spheres estimated to have 5 to 15 times the mass of Jupiter, the solar system’s largest planet.
Guys, Any difference between estimated to have and estimated to be? What if I replace estimated to have in above sentence with estimated to be.. Will it still be correct?
Thank you
