    Two solid, skilled Welterweight champions.

    Who takes it?

    I think Palomino edges Cokes as he overwhelms Cokes' liquid style with power and consistency.

    Agreed. Carlos was a very solid fighter. Still in good shape today.

    Dude made a respectable comeback in his late 40's.

    His great appearance on The White Shadow clinches this match-up for me.

    Palomino by decision. Cokes kind of seems like a "forgotten" fighter, probably due to being overshadowed by the better known WW champions before and after him (Griffith and Napoles).
