What a gentleman Carlos Palimino was and still is. Such a great asset and ambassador to the sport of boxing. So modest, knowledgable and intelligent. He was an excellent boxer, a great ring technician and just like Duran, a super body puncher. Long Live The King. Would love to see him doing the boxing commentary at today's main fights and see him interviewed on the Joe Rogan Show.
Carlos made a interesting point about Duran he never ask his opponents in upper weight class to come down at a catch weight great point! And also Carlos stated Duran was a”Complete”fighter you don’t hear that comment on today’s fighters . My opinion Duran’s in the top 10 fighters of all times 💥👊
King Carlos was a great champion and a class act in and out the ring. Fought all comers and gave a great performance win or lose. He is a great representative of the sport. Long live the king 👑. Pearce n smoke.
Not a boxing comment. But looking at king Carlos makes me think of our fallen queen. The great Aretha Franklin. Two of my favorite pastimes are boxing and music. There will be less to enjoy now that the queen of soul is gone.. A great singer and a legend of entertainment. Peace n smoke
great interview! palomino was a very good boxer. lost to duran but fought a very good fight against benitez and beat john stracey another very good boxer.
This is the kind of guy I'd enjoy sitting down and having a beer with. You can tell he's a gentleman and class act. Nothing cocky about him. Great fighter too. I also agree on his assessment of Duran being the best lightweight ever. When he went up in weight his punches didn't have the same effect on bigger guys, and at the advanced age, he was relying more on his ring skills (which were substantial). Still scored some impressive wins in the later part of his career.
Duran fought everyone at the weight for each division ie Barkley was 4lbs heavier than him at the weigh in for the middleweight title + in the fight itself Barkley came in as a lightheavy whilst Duran was still a small middleweight, no catchweights for this warrior + no handicaps put on his opponent. Pac's continuous run of weakening opponents is pathetic, even his light m'weight title was won with both unranked + they fought as welters. Pacs opponents either have to lose muscle or put on fat.
Tony didn't train Duran. He just carried his spit bucket. Ray Arcel trained him in the beginning of his career and later it was a Panamanian dude. I just can't remember his name.
Duran should be #4 of all time behind Ali, sugar ray rob. And big George foreman. And floydiots should really stop with the pacman trash talkin shit cuz look at your idol. He's already a disgrace to boxing.
@thetruthis8 The man is an established All Time Great. What part of what he said was "hate"? Everytime a legitimate, established former champ says something about Manny that makes sense, Pacfans call it hate. What a shocker! Funny, all these Pacfans didn't give a damn about Boxing until Manny came around. Then they all magically transformed into Boxing Experts and Living Boxing Legends like Palomino doesn't know what he's talking about. Now THAT is funny.
I've never been sold on Berto to be honest, i thought he lost to Collazo earlier in his career + was still waiting to see how good he was when Ortiz beat him. I hate Mayweather's persona but he's a great boxer + i do support his stance on stricter testing. I've heard the Floyd's test WADA/VADA caught Berto out whereas the USADA test that Arum/Pac etc says is good enough is the one people have been beating ie Peterson etc WADA which does the Olympics + most world sports have been saying its easy
@skcusefil Hahaha. Why should Sergio fight Manny @ 147? It was Sergio's 154 VACATED title that Manny fought Margarito for. Funny, while Sergio was the 154 Champ, no offers to fight him came from Pac's Peeps. As soon as Sergio vacates, Pac is NOW ready to fight for it? And against who? The previously KO'D & unworthy Margarito and @ a catchweight. You want to give credit to Manny for "winning" his 8th title but you don't want him to fight the LEGITIMATE 154 Champ? You guys are hypocrites.
He spoke truth about both Mayweather and Pacquiao indirectly. Pacquiao and his catchweights. Mayweather not fighting #1 contenders by letting go his titles.
"This dude ain't nuttin but a Pac wannabe" Are you referring to Carlos Palomino? "stepping off the gas"? Who? Pac vs Margarito? Pac fought at a catchweight vs a previously KO'D, suspended, unranked fighter for Sergio Martinez's VACATED 154 title. Do some objective research.
@@davidespinoza8067 What are you talking about? Tommy Hearns put Duran to sleep in the second round of their fight just like Marquez did in his last fight with Manny. They both fell face first, which means you ain't getting up.
@T74G duran was behind on the scorecards before he quit against leonard. and leonard beat him again in their 3rd fight.so they fought 3 times and leonard beat him twice.
Duran biggest enemy against Leonard was the fact that he let Ray get into his head and caused him to get frustrated. His ego was too big and that took away his game plan. “Leonard’s own words” glad that they are good friends nowadays. 2 classy guys for sure.
@laistar Well said. Boxing Culture has changed. We use to have 8 wt divisions. Now 17 with multiple sanctioning bodies. All the Pac fans identify greatness by the amount of division titles Manny has. So what? Fighting previously KO'D opponents for VACATED alphabet soup titles @ catchweights. Duran beat the man who beat the man, etc no catchweight. Remember, Duran went from 135 to 147. Completely bypassing 140 which he would have easily won if he fought the champ Cervantes. Pacfans, do research.
I think they're both good, Manny as a fighter + Mayweather as a great boxer. There's a reason why one was a decorated amateur + one was'nt. After Lamont Peterson easily passed the highly criticised USADA test that WADA says is easily beatable + incidentally the same test team Pac wants + says is good enough, he failed over 2 months later the WADA style test that Mayweather supports. Do you condone cheating ? Tell Pac to take the WADA test the + sack Arum so the fight can happen.
@flamebot4475 Haha nice one. If you want to see a true fan its a martinez fan. Yea I agree pac can be suspicious on roids. I wanna see your "GOD" go against martinez bro. Stop comin back with lame excuses. How old are you 12? haha.
You must be related to P.T. Barnum, who said: " There is a sucker born every minute." It sounds like you believe him. However, it also sounds like you are one of the "suckers" who believe anything!
Top boxer Carlos and gentlemen,agreed 100% Duran the best ever!

duran is one of the greatest pound for pound fighters of all time...
mert - without a doubt! only one of Roberto Duran !
The Greatest!
greatest quitter of all time 🤣🤣🤣
Carlos made a interesting point about
Duran he never ask his opponents
in upper weight class to come
down at a catch weight great point!
And also Carlos stated
Duran was a”Complete”fighter
you don’t hear that comment
on today’s fighters .
My opinion Duran’s in
the top 10 fighters of all times 💥👊
@@raymondgalindo9647 top 10 quitters of all time don’t forget
Great points by Palomino. He obviously lives a clean life. The man is almost 62 years old and looks like he could be pass for 45.
listen to what palomino said about duran he fought hagler moore and that other guy at there weight! DURAN THE BEST!
seconded - Duran was unique! even Hagler admitted that Roberto would fight anybody!
Liked Carlos since a teenager and I see why. Respect.
Hagler might have something to say about the title but Duran fought in the greatest middleweight era
King Carlos was a great champion and a class act in and out the ring. Fought all comers and gave a great performance win or lose. He is a great representative of the sport. Long live the king 👑. Pearce n smoke.
And man, idk his record, but he certainly seems to be all there mentally, and looks good physically.
That's a justified statement, based on Roberto's excellent record and of course his Manos de Piedra (Hands of Stone).
Carlos is such a classy guy.

great interview! palomino was a very good boxer. lost to duran but fought a very good fight against benitez and beat john stracey another very good boxer.
Carlos was smart. Got out at the right time. The Duran fight was his last. He was only 30
Palomino speaking nothing but the truth.
Classy dude, unlike the foul mouth fighters of today!
I agree, but just leave it at "classy dude".
Palomino is always a true pro !
Top five fav Roberto!
he's right boxing shouldn't have these catch weight fights.
This is the kind of guy I'd enjoy sitting down and having a beer with. You can tell he's a gentleman and class act. Nothing cocky about him. Great fighter too.

So Proud of the Champion class

Duran!!
Tony didn't train Duran. He just carried his spit bucket. Ray Arcel trained him in the beginning of his career and later it was a Panamanian dude. I just can't remember his name.
Plomo Espinosa from Panama was Duran´s trainer since amateour, Then His manager hired fredy brown and Arcel, but plomo stick wth Duran until the end.
Plomo Espinoza
Duran should be #4 of all time behind Ali, sugar ray rob. And big George foreman. And floydiots should really stop with the pacman trash talkin shit cuz look at your idol. He's already a disgrace to boxing.
His nickname fits him, The King. Carries himself like true royalty.
Palomino was as tough as teak !!
Floyd would duck Duran.
It’s amazing Eli don’t know boxing
Dont forget King Carlos KO'ed Tony Danza!
Palomino se ve mas joven que antes!

He spoke truth about both Mayweather and Pacquiao indirectly. Pacquiao and his catchweights. Mayweather not fighting #1 contenders by letting go his titles.
damn music
Where did Eli get that Palomino was from East L.A.?
I remember seeing this video... maybe like a month ago?
@viglen4 i agree!
catchweight king pacquiao

@thetruthis8 HE'Z JUST TELLIN THE TRUTH!!! LOL
Duran is the best LW of all time...... but I'm not so sure Pac vs Duran @ WW.
Remember packman got knock out Duran never was! Even with bigger fighers. And remember he moved up to their weight!
@@davidespinoza8067 What are you talking about? Tommy Hearns put Duran to sleep in the second round of their fight just like Marquez did in his last fight with Manny. They both fell face first, which means you ain't getting up.
Sergio fights at middleweight (160) last time he fought light middleweight (154) was againts Cintron (i think)
Yeah thats true but let's speak with the truth. They shouldn't lie to the fans.
@T74G duran was behind on the scorecards before he quit against leonard.

@ibeatuinboxing heavyweight sure.... not P4P
@T74G maybe top 30 .... he wasn't the GOAT though ...not even close
