    The difference in time to rehydrate is at least 18 hours, probably 24.

    Do you still feel that Muniz would be too much for him?

    I believe that Errol Spence would have a difficult time with both co champions, Carlos Palomino and Jose Pipino Cuevas. Cuevas was very relentless in his hunt for an opponents head. I think because of his power, Pipino takes out Errol in round 5, too much power and pressure, Spence is no Thomas Hearns. With Carlos, the body punching of Palomino would take a toll on Spence, who comes out out boxing Carlos. Carlos stops Errol late as those left hooks take their toll, TKO 14. But remember there are two other fighters on the horizon, British and European Welterweight Champion Davey Boy Green, who just stopped former champion, John H. Stracey in round 10, and former WBA Junior Welterweight Champion Wilfred Benitez.

    Liking Spence's chances against Palomino more and more.

    I love clasaic boxing, but these guys are pretty bias this time.
    I could see Spence being able to rumble with Palomino and Cuevas. He has a much better chance than people realize.

    Spence gets into the ring as a middleweight. A 13-15 pound weight advantage is a big advantage.

    Spence can win against this selection of fighters. Short of Cuevas catching him clean he can win each fight when looked at as one offs. But if he has to go through all these guys then he will have an off day. Best night for best night, Spence has shown enough to handle these guys, size and all
