    2 real tough guys going at it head to head. I have Carlos as he was the better boxer and, I believe, at least a level above.

    Palomino is way to schooled and cool headed for the strong, but wild Margarito.
    Carlos by comfortable decision.

    Wifred Benetiz outboxed Palomino in Carlos' prime. Margarito isn't Wilfred.

    The methodical, contained and far more skilled Palomino wins a wide decision over Margarito. Carlos was a class above Margarito.
