Carlos Palomino thrived in the company of legends. So much so, he became one himself. He talks to Craig Scott IT’S been 42 years since Carlos Palomino retired – well, for the first time, anyway. Now, 71-years old and still sharp, he speaks about a period mixing it on-screen with Hollywood’s finest actors, and relives his epic bouts with Roberto Duran, Wilfredo Benitez, and a Chino prison inmate.
