Every documentary you see about a fallen boxer, Don King appears right at the moment they cue the part about the downfall...
So true.
He's a grim reaper man. Literally every downfall I see him somewhere I really hate him. I started getting into boxing history and litteraly Everytime he is there
😁 True
facts!
Absolute facts
I got to see Roberto Duran fight in Panama in 1997 when I was stationed there in the military. About 2 weeks later I saw him playing dominos and drinking beer and having a good time at the beach. To see somebody so legendary being so normal in life was something else. I'll never forget it.
DURAN EL MEJOR BOXEADOR DEL MUNDO, NINCA SALIO CORTADO Y EMPEZO PRLEANDO EN LOS PESOS GALLOS.
Your so lucky
It's a real crime how this super warrior doesn't get enough respect. One of the best EVER!
Always be a Ray Leonard fan, but to me Durans win over Leonard is far more impressive than Leonards win over Duran. After all Duran beat Leonard at his best, a focused prepared in shape prime Leonard. While Leonard beat a weight drained, dehydrated and weakened Duran.
Duran beat leanord but leanord made him quit in the rematch
@@abdullahiali319 I recently watched the first fight and all I heard was Duran dominated the first fight. Fuck no in my opinion it could've been a draw . Shit Leonard took it to Duran onthe second half of the fight .To me Leonard was landing some really good shots not only Duran . I never saw a beaten Leonard. Or Duran dominate.
@@abdullahiali319 he didnt mk duran do anything bro its called a boxing match & especilly bk than man v man ray was acting like a knob real man like duran is like either fight or do 1
Lenard knew he couldn't beat him at his best... Why do you think that he asked for a quick rematch?
@@RodrigoMartinez-mu9ue It was close fight. But the decision was clear, 8-7 is a bit generous to Ray. On the inside, Duran was extremely good at smothering punches which may look like they might have landed.
In any case, Leonard is atleast 2 weight classes bigger than him naturally. Duran shouldn't have given him a close fight, let alone won if we stick by boxing's premier sayi g that a good big man beats a great smaller man.
Two faced people. Only love you when you’re winning
I was at the Duran-Moore fight at MSG in Jun '83 with my dad's best friend Pete Quinn. We had great seats that cost $100 ea. My dad was so mad I bought them he refused to go. ( I was in 11th grade bought the tickets w/$ earned at King Kullen ). Greatest night of my early life. All these famous people were no closer to the fight than we were, Frank Sinatra, Vicky LaMotta, David Brenner, Donald & Bruce Curry, Vito Antuofermo...Ali walked right past us...saw Gerry Cooney on the LIRR going back home. The whole crowd seemed to be for Duran. I remember Billy Hatcher on the undercard and Panama Lewis getting banned for taking padding out of his guy's glove...but all the details escape me. Those really WERE the good old days.
Few people really earn the cliche of Legend. Duran is an absolute LEGEND.
Ronald Brumwell he's my hero
@@jennafine4502 Apollo Creed is the Legend
Legendary street fighter!!
"A lot of people assume that Muhammad Ali was my favorite boxer. But I have to say it was Roberto Duran: Mike Tyson
He was special, a pitbull in the ring
This is true
It makes sense. Tyson, Duran, Dempsey all got that in them from childhood. You can't teach the most talented boxer that internal hunger. These are ppl who created their own destiny.
Tyson once said "Roberto Duran is my number one hero!"
Tyson Loves Duràn ... n said "The Brawl" made him wanna fight... but when Cus trained Mike..
tyson's boy was supposedly Jack Dempsey ..
he wore Dempsey's haircut
he rocked the same scowl..
his bob and weave figure 8 head movement
(both David and Goliath type boxers) small beating big
he explains it in a video..
but Durán's the best ever in my opinion!
being called a brawler is not only an insult to Durán... but the sport itself! mans a genius in the ring!
what a great person Duran is, I met him in a bar/restaurant (of course lol) 2 years ago in Panama, and I said to him "man you are my hero", he lower his head like I was something big for him and he replied with his eyes almost in tears, Thank you papa, thank you papa, what a humble guy! after that encounter I upgraded him to my SUPER HERO. By the way he was hanging out with poor people and paying for everything in an upscale bar/restaurant. Great person god bless Duran and his family
This man's being boxing for ages. One of the greats. How internet herbs can disparage him is beyond me.
What a beautiful man unbelievable courage when everyone wrote him off he came back time and time again I loved him ⭐️
Easily one of the greatest boxers of all time. Lost of lot of fights he shouldn't has never lost simply because he didn't trained for those fights. 69 KO's in his career, can't think of anyone that comes close that number. Just a legend, you are the greatest Roberto.
How can people label Duran 'no mas'. This is bullshit. Duran has a huge spirit in human generosity that conquers all. God bless Roberto always and his family.
+brainy brainy A great fighter to be sure, a legend; but if you weren't too familiar with Duran's early career, see Duff's & my post directly above......
If u notice ,lenard kept running, that was the first person to run like a bitch ,that's where mayweather got his style
Unless youve been in the ring you dont no the pain a fighter is in. He wasnt in shape and got beat up. When he was he destroyed sugar
He is an asshole too . Lol
They 'label ' him No Mas because he's the one who quit in the ring . Simple
One of the Best Fighters in The Whole History of Boxing, Roberto Duran.
Whaaaaaatttt?.... sureeeee???
R.Duran was no match for Apollo Creed
Apollo Creed = the greatest
@@juancarlossanchez7732 @
Apollo Creed was the greatest
You have to respect Leonard's honesty.
Sugar Ray has NEVER spoke ill on Duran,,Ray is a Class Act🥊
This doc is about Duran , it’s not about Leonard
@@jonathanhanser5914 lol.
Leonard has always been a class act.
I went to his restaurant in panama City he was there singing songs with the live band he is a legend to this day
The Brawl in Montreal... could very well be the best fight in history!
It was.Ive watched it 20 times..
@@glaswegiansouth-side2350 ditto!!!!! the fight itself and then 60 thousand fans. It was electric
Once when I was young boy in Panama, my grandfather took me to parque Omar. As we were leaving in his van, he spotted Duran and yelled, “ cholo! Alguien te quiere conocer.” He took the moment to stop his workout and walked over to our car where I shook his hand. What a nice gift he gave me. One of the few memories I have with my grandpa.
A treasure for you
Look, I live in EMSWORTH UK, 10,000 population, and Duran touched my life,..his boxing legend will echo down the ages
Duran was incredible.
2 decades of extraordinary success and all these experts can talk about is his so called demise.
I grew up watching these guys, Hagler is my all time sporting hero but Duran has been knocked for being a a legend ❤
Duran was always his own man. I never held that “no mas” thing against him. He honored how he felt at the time.
The thing is he never ever said those words.An absolute warrior like he saying 'no more' i dont think so..
Gun em down Villy right. Duran had proven himself a badass already.
As they say, “pound for pound” the greatest fighter ever. No exceptions.
Apollo Creed is the greatest
Oh the irony, duran was never on a top p4p list throughout his career.
Swanky Tribe - not sure what you mean, but I have heard or read several experts say Duran was the best. Where did you get your info that he was ‘never’ on a pound for pound list. That doesn’t make sense whatsoever. He was the very best.
@@peterflorino9016 ESPN has ranked him on a UNOFFICIAL list of best boxers of all time but he was never officially a top p4p rank in any year he was boxing. Where did I get my info? You can do a quick search on BoxRec (boxing records) or look at national boxing ranking board/ ring magazine also post the p4p list too.
@@peterflorino9016 well I stand corrected he was on the top p4p list for about 8 months in 1978. So technically your statement is correct.
One of the Greatest Fighters who ever lived , as a Light Weight he was the Best !!!!!
Duran made headlines in Puerto Rico when he embraced "Vita" De Jesus on his last days. From there on his kind heart overshadowed what he had acomplished in the ring. What a guy. Thank you Champ.
Still has the coolest nickname of all time
A wonderful boxer who was unlucky to be around at the same time of so many brilliant fighters in his weight divisions. He fought as a pro in the 5 separate decades, won over 100 fights - very few can come close to this.
Duran is a man with a big heart. Respect
Not as big as Don Kings bank accounts
Now I see why this is Mike Tysons favorite fighter both great legends and GOATS with similar personalities it's crazy how similar they are
He. Should have. Never. Fucked. With. Sugar Ray. About. His. Wife. That's. Enough to. Make. Me. Kill a. Muthafucka
Boxing has an element to it that no other sport has - it has the people behind you. When Duran stepped into the ring you thought about the streets of Panama, when JCC fought he had the weight of his country on his shoulders. When Tom Brady gets inside the lines, do we think about Northern California (where he is from)? No, we think about the "franchise", we think about the organization. Boxing is about the people at the most basic level. Hopefully one day it regains its foothold in the world of sports, because I really miss it.
I think Duran and Hagler epitomise everything truly incredible about the sport of boxing.
For a time....the greatest fighter on the planet. Period. The most furious fighter of all time.
He was a dirty street fighting wrestler!!
Hes not the greatest he was knockout by Hearns..hehehe
@@andrewfulache6903 Duran was a legit lightweight
@@andrewfulache6903 shut it casual
Yes, definitely one of the best. The one that really stands out above all was SRR. Have to take into account the timeline.
Duran was and is the best, period.
@the patriot from and born in California.👍
@the patriot true, Im referring him the best as a person. Just my opinion.👍
SRR
I’m pretty sure that Cassius Clay is the best boxer to ever do it 🥊
@@dumisatonyjohnson8145 oh, of course. But Duran is the best in my eyes.
Duran is one of the greatest boxers to ever live. He is certainly in the top 5 and certainly the greatest lightweight boxer of all time. Respect for Roberto Duran, the Panamanian warrior.
You Know
Hands Of Stone Movie Is Coming Out
Robert De Niro Will Play
Roberto Duran Manager
& Usher Will Play
Sugar Ray Leonard
Cant Wait :)
Jesse Saucedo I heard about that. I want to watch it. I love watching Duran's fights, I like his style. He's one of my 3 favorite boxers of all time.
I suppose he could be placed in the top-5, but I don't know if he belongs there. I have a hard time believing he is the greatest lightweight ever as well.
Jesse Saucedo hey bro.. when is the movie coming out???
Hastein45 I think Duran deserves to be placed in the top 5 because he pretty much spent his 20's as the lightweight lion. Then after 70 fights he keeps up going in weight and winning titles in 3 more weight divisions. And remember that he was not in his prime anymore while he was defeating younger, bigger guys. I think its pretty safe to say that Duran is the greatest lightweight of all time. He destroyed every opponent as a lightweight like no other lightweight has done it before.
Duran hit the lowest point in his life against Leonard in the second fight. Sometimes in life you have to hit that spot in order to rise above the top and become the legend. Roberto Duran did just that a phoenix that Rose From the Ashes.
I had the privilege to play softball on Memorial Day 1981 against Roberto & his crew in Central Park New York.What a memorable experience such a regular guy .. Eventually a crowd formed realizing who was playing. Hint? It wasn’t me lol. He invited everyone who played to dinner at victors unfortunately I couldn’t go To my regret . Great memories though..
Tremendous fighter. Tremendous man. Hands of stone, with the heart of a champion.
Roberto Duran will always be a great fighter! He was truly the people's champion! I truly believe that he would give the shirt off his back to many that needed any type of assistance.
Che campione grandioso, che cuore, che emozione. Grazie Roberto Duran. Grazie.
DURAN, you are the best ever, the best in the whole world, of all times, i'm american and have always thought in general sense, that the best boxers in the world are either mexican or cuban... but you were a phenomenon, a monster, a perfectly built fighting machine. God bless you and thanks for all!
p.s. Screw you Don King!
Saludos desde Panamá
he only has 1 wife,a true loving man,respect for him..
no disrespect.. i love Duran..but has had other kids and woman..
Yes he has 8 kids total, poppa was a rolling Stone , he claims woman always said they were using protection, what a life ! 3 outside of the marriage
He said WIFE. Do you all even know what a wife is? He's right. Roberto has only one.
@Sara Allison 9 total / 3 outside of his marriage I will send you the clip where he says it himself
@Sara Allison ua-cam.com/video/n6_QK38iSRk/v-deo.html
Mike Tyson said Roberto was the greatest of all times. His Hero.
ROBERTO DURAN WAS THE MOST SAVAGE FIGHTING MACHINE EVER AND A MEAN S.O.B.!
Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard, Leonard, a gentleman and a out of this world boxing abilities. We were lucky to see the fight between these 2 legends of boxing. I understand that Sugar Ray and Duran have a very close friendship nowadays and that is what sport is about.
@@tcorrea22 He's friends with all the fighters. Chavez senior is kind of a jerk but Duran still gets along with everybody. A good man. Hell of a Fighter. My boxing idol as a kid. There have been some other mean S.O.B.'s in history. Walker Smith was one 'em.
Yes, ask Ken Buchanan’s balls.
This man rose from the bottom of physical poverty, to rise to the greatest heights of glory. Only to fall once again with 'no mas'. He fell physically, spiritually, and mentally and all his detractors pointed it so. Nevertheless he ROSE again,... fighting from the very bottom, and losing along the way,.... BUT winning vs. (Davey Moore and Iran Barkley). He rose again, and he was once again,.. the King. It is as the King as he will be remembered.
This legendary man right here will always be my favourite fighter until the day that I die. Roberto Duran 🥊 ‘Hands Of Stone’ who goes by the nickname ‘Manos de Piedra’!! He’s the best fighter that’s ever lived so don’t forget about him guys!! Make sure you tell your children and your grandchildren about him and keep his name going for hundreds of years!! Also tell them about his great life story from the beginning when he was a young boy living on the streets. Lastly I’m sure everybody here who reads this will agree with me that the only person who beat Duran was Duran himself. He’s so special to us and we all love him as he’s the Robin Hood of Panama🇵🇦 and he will be forever and ever!!✌🏽
I drank with Roberto at Whiskey A Go Go in Toronto Canada I think the year was 1988. He ran an ad in the local newspaper saying he'd be there to drink and sign autographs and at the time I was the Canadian light-welterweight champion.
And your name is?
Nicky Furlano.
*****
Roberto like the name said was a whiskey drinker. He never drank beer at the bar.
+parkerbohnn Awesome!
@@parkerbohnn I remember you man. You can call yourself a fighter for sure. I did a little amateur stuff and got to spar some Champs. It was a great time. I watched Duran Train for Cuevas 2 days in a row @ Main St. Gym in Los Angeles and then saw the fight from the 10th row and Duran KO'd Cuevas in 4. Alfredo Escalera was on the undercard in a really good fight. so fast ! Duran loved people. You were a good fighter Nicky ! You had a few good fights against some names I remember. Hell, I can barely remember anything ,but boxing I don't forget. I'm 54 ! Crazy isn't it ? Take care Nicky !
Lo vi en un hotel en la ciudad de Panama con su hermano y su orquesta de salsa ,un caballero yo tenia 20 Amos y para mi fue ver al mas grande boxeador lati o de todos los tiempos y todavia me hacia bailar salsa no lo podria creer una de mi mejores anecdotas en mi vida ,dios lo cuide siempre un grande y super humilde historico para mi.
I met Roberto Duran at Nelson billiards in Panama city it was a great experience. negative comments (Edited) I can easily back this up Lotus or Salvador try me.
lucky
You are full of shit 😂
@@paradoxal4 correct
@Kyzo I was there with Apollo Creed
Did you say he paid for the pool''? on his own table? Hmmmmm!!! Only kidding but it must've been a pleasure sitting in a BMW with he driving you around.An absolute legend in and out the ring.Probably had the biggest fan-base world wide than any fighter that ive heard about.I have him as the 2nd best fighter after the person who beat him in MMHagler.Hagler was too big for Roberto as he had to put on 28 Lbs to fight him as a middleweight.But he was the only fighter to take Hagler the distance.+He had to put on a stone '14 Lbs' to fight a 'in his prime SRLeonard and beat him.............+He 1st won the title from a Scotsman (my country) by punching him between the legs....And Guess who i met going down to Newcastle on the train 'Ken Buchanan' I asked Ken who was the best boxer ever? i was surprised by his reply in Ali or Sugar Ray Robinson...................................& Duran when asked who his toughest opponent was his reply was Buchanan!!!
what a great human being. My favorite boxer of all time!
The best i watched him beat our ken buchanen when i was 12 after that nothin ever comes close to hands of stone a true legend 😄
Roberto Durant ,Italia 🇮🇹 ti rispetta, ti apprezza per tutto il tuo coraggio la voglia e la rabbia che mettevi in ogni pugno 👊 manos de pedra ( mani di pietra ),CAMPIONE 💪💪
Roberto Mano de piedra Duran Leyanda viviente del boxeo. En mi Puerto Rico se quiere como si el tambien fuera Boricua. Ariba Panama y Ariba Robero Duran.
Orale carnal
Y Mexico.
Duran=Lionheart. The ones that came up with the term "No Mas" should come up with a term for themselves called: "No Nunca" as they never done anything significant in life besides criticize legends.
I love Roberto Duran lol. He didn't give a fuck.
DURAN HAD 116 PRO FIGHTS.PEOPLE IGNORE THIS.THE BODY ENDURING THIS MANY FIGHTS,THAT CAN STILL BEAT UP THE LEONARDS,MORES,BARKLEYS,IS UNHEARD OF.DURAN HAS 3 TIMES THE KO'S,WINS,BOUTS,5 DECADES OF FIGHTING, THAN ANY BIG NAME IN BOXING HISTORY.THE GREATEST FIGHTER OF ANY WEIGHT WHO EVER STEPPED INTO THE RING.
he still does
I WOULD SAY THE TOUGHEST DEFINITELY. THE GREATEST , IN THE 70'S MAYBE BUT ARGUEABLE, I THINK SUGAR IN HIS PRIME WAS THE BEST BUT THAT IS ARGUEABLE TOO.
Not quite......he actually did give a shit about the important things.
Duran was Incredible .
Leonard fan here, dockjm, and I couldn't agee with you more. Duran was one tough, tough sob. If anything, we don't hear enough about Duran's greatness. Hands of stone, heart of a bull.
Roberto displayed the Character of a Great Champion after our second fight in recapturing another Championship belt status and I'm so proud to say that he is one of my special friends althought we spend little time together but when we see each other we embrace with Respect! Ray
"You can Walk with Kings Yet Keep the Common Touch!" Amazing Man and Boxer, I wish they did Some More Hightlights of his Fights though, but this was a Good Documentary. Roberto Duran Will Always Be one of the Greats!
Don King is literally the biggest piece of crap on earth. Destroyed Duran, Tyson, and God knows who else.
Chavez , Gomez , in the list goes on.
+baggio chiffo Trinidad as well
+Vlad IV XianKnightofRomania777.. he should've been dead a long time ago, but he couldn't be touched, he was making too much money for the "fellas".
Everything don the asshole touches turns to shit !!
but he is great and fearless in he straight beats people for millions of dollars. the most dangerous men ... he dont care...wow you would think hed be dead by now .
What a man Roberto Duran! Champion of Champions!
The greatest of all time in my book. Incredible man.
Duran is the template of a real man!
No real man accepts a victory when after the 13th round bell he pulverized Buchanan's balls. KB was a 15 rounder and had legs in the 13th. No real man does such an act and refuses a rematch. No real man finally admits to Buchanan 20 years later with buckets of tears- yeah he hurt him bad. A real man tells the world/ His face is so crazed after the nasty he is a crazed animal- aka stimulant imo. The next day they all saw the blow that required surgery but the ref would not change his opinion
It was all decided it was time to get rid of the hall of fame ken buchanan, who was never knocked out in his career
and replace with a Panamanian- yes- racism because of $$, I think the best thing would have been since fight one if Duran would have been tested for steroids and stimulants. In the KB fight he screamed at the champion when he wouldn't drop. After the cheatin blow KB would have been in Duran's quarter making certain he was ok- not duran- he had a predator's look of pleasure. If I get the money- get the tapes and hire 3 top stimulant doctors and see what they say.
@@duffgordon9005 you are full of shit
Apollo Creed is
@@giovannygonzalez7180 That cat is disturbed. There was no need of a rematch and everyone knew it...The fact that he only lost 1 of his next 71 fights at 135 pounds pretty much says it all, to say nothing of moving up 12 lbs after so many fights and becoming the only man to defeat Sugar Ray in Sugar's prime.
The fact that Ray made Duran wait a decade for the rubber match tells anyone with above room temperature IQ just how dangerous he felt Duran was
The world has No idea of where Roberto Duran grew up as I wittness it when I visited Panama and was taken to his old neighbor hood and I thought that I had it bad in growing up in Washington DC? No Comparison!!!!!!!!
Duran was a fantastic guy man.. his story is so great..I love the way he was such a savage in the ring.. they told guys not to look him in the eyes ..haha.. he was so mean his look could knock u out
A great champion and human being.
God bless the hands of stone.
Hands Down One Of The Greatest!!! 💪👊💪
I have him ranked as probably the best lightweight champ of all time ...... people reme,ber him from the 80s but in the 70s, this guys was a straight killer
I'm half Spanish, so obviously my all time favorite is Roberto Duran. Campione del mundo.
I was so FORTUNATE TO BE OF AGE (roughly)5 YEARS YOUNGER THAN (THE GREAT) ROBERTO DURAN at that TIME in MY LIFE to WITNESS “THE LIVING LEGEND!!! JUST FEEL SO FORTUNATE !!! PERIOD…
Have nothing bad to say about Hands Of Stone,the guy bought a lot to the sport.
Damn right he did!
You gotta be tough to become champion. You gotta be tougher to come back the way Duran did. Much respect for him.
My favorite fighter by far!!!
After seeing this documentary, duran is the furthest thing from a quitter i know.
Easyandy100 he was being out boxed so badly he quit. and if this documentary changed ur opinion then ur no pugilistic fan
Also because he put on a lot of weight and started drinking a lot more heavier.
Roberto has nobody to blame but himself for "No mas." Quitter? Well he did quit. Period. But I subscribe to Randy Gordon's interpretation of that night more than any other theory.
However "No Mas" should not define what he was in the sport of boxing. His rise back to the top in defeating Barkley showed the world the desire, pride and fury that lay beneath the exterior of Robert. Of course as if his performance in Montreal hadn't done that. Roberto is the only man to defeat a prime and physically peak SRL. The only man who was able to dent the aura of confidence that surrounded Sugar at the time. Duran beat him mentally before the fight and beat him in the ring. No other fighter did that to SRL.
The sport misses Roberto. We do.
sanjuanpapi l knew that before l saw this video
Sorry man. I LIVED through that shit He quit like a bitch. Real shit
A true warrior. One of the best
Take the ''one of '' out of your comment Gary , and you've hit the nail on the head ,
Gary Still the best
johnny p now you can be a commentator
Just like Apollo Creed
and still my favorite boxer of all time. I grew up watching him. Other good boxers have come along but none that had the heart of Duran !!
No.1 is Charlie Zelenoff
I was lucky enough to meet him in Glasgow. Both himself and Ken Buchanan shared a great meeting with their Scottish fans. Both great Guys 👍

I agree. Roberto Duran. The greatest of all-time. World Champion in multiple weight classes.
@@stevenmendoza5621 Duran was outstanding but Sugar Ray Robinson is the greatest fighter of all time.
He was simply on another level from everyone else.
I’m pretty sure that Cassius Clay is the best boxer to ever do it 🥊
You can see sadness in Duran's eyes, you can tell he's so disenchanted about what happened. SRL didn't act like a champion does, he has that stain. Duran was so frustrated that he quit, he has that stain too. I'm sure the only winner was Don King. Still, their greatness will survive.

win, losses or draw. duran still the best for me.
He had the biggest fan base in the world.Everyone from Panama to U.S.A To Here in Scotland Duran was the man that we all loved........Even though he punched a Scotsman in the nuts to win the lightweight title in 1972 we still respected him......

Roberto...a true Champion
Amazing documentary, Roberto Duran will always be my idol 👊 he's one of the reasons I took up boxing
Roberto Duran embodied everything i love about boxing. The guts, grit and the unstoppable desire to be on top. Also....this man was fully human and failed as a human. Yet...every single poll that has ever been drafted, place Roberto Duran in the top 10 greatest ever. He was flawed but he was real. Don King is a user....hard to take this man seriously.
Duran would have been a hell of an MMA fighter.... Amazing fighter, boxer, definitely a GOAT. His best quality is his heart.
+truemanc I would have loved to have seen him fight a Gracie fighter or an olympic wrestler his own size in a cage. But Duran was the type of street fighter who probably would have resorted to eye gouging, biting and groin strikes if taken down LOL.
+bflo1000 that's the definition of a street fight. no rules... lol
@A C H Yeah, those days were the best. The only exceptions were biting and eye gouging. EVERYTHING else was permitted.
My total respects, a legend.
1983, Duran's right. All of a sudden he is a hero again. I'd have told them to stick their welcome up their arse. He's Champion, HE sweated for it, not them, he doesn't need their "support" and they'll get no more charity.
Great Duran! I saw him fighting in the 80s so proud i watched him ...and i remember celebrating when hearns was knocked down by Hagler 'cause hearns treated bad Duran .
DURAN YOU ARE THE BEST!
I used to work in a copy center a few blocks from Duran’s house and one of my co-workers, a pretty girl, just found him in the street and greeted him. She told him she was having a birthday that day and he gave him a 20 dollar bill. Just like that. God bless him.
