    This matchup intrigues me. Who do you think would win?

    To be honest, a good matchup. Carlos Palomino was a solid body puncher and a very consistent champion. He took all of his bouts seriously, and had some very brutal wars, Armando Muniz and Davey Boy Green in 1977. But what could trouble Carlos is the speed factor, especially against such a talented fighter like Errol Spence. Palomino was a slow starter, and speed was what ended his title reign against Wilfred Benitez on Jan 14 1979. This would be more action packed than Danny Garcia vs Spence. This fight would go to the judges, as much as I liked Carlos, Spence would edge him out. Both fighters are very durable.
