Paul was a good technician but Ill go with Costello who apparently was a freak strength wise.sure he lost to light hitting Lonnie Smith but I think part of that was Smith's unorthodox style.
Paul being more conventional I think would be easier to reach and I remember reading that Costello would hold his own against Middleweight Wolford Scypion.
While styles make fights and that don't certainly mean anything I go with Costello for a late ko or decision.

Paul UD. Costello was physically stronger but Paul was the better, more disciplined fighter and Costello didn’t have the punch to rattle him. Costello was also a sucker for a good straight right hand and Paul had one
