He has many moments, but his comeback win against Davey Moore to become Junior middleweight champion of the world was a transcendent moment in his career. His lightweight run as undisputed champion, his victory against Leonard at 147 and his defeat of Barkley at 160 are also magnificent.
I cannot wait for this. My favourite fighter of all time. He was a complete fighter. People still don't give Duran enough credit for how intelligent and versatile he was. Thank you for this!
@@boxingnews__ I have met DURAN on four occasions in the North East UK. Roberto Duran is an absolute gentleman and very engaging in every aspect, not just boxing. He is also known as '' El Cholo''
Roberto Duran showing Rob where the weak bone is behind the ear (whilst telling a story about knocking out /down a horse in Panama) is going to be an iD Boxing legendary moment forever. Also one for Rob to tell the grandkids.
Rob Tebutt , just like my barber who I followed every time he left a barber shop to go somewhere else, I am following you wherever you go because of your ability to do videos like this…the ability to attract a legend like this and your knowledge of boxing history is what separates you from most of the rest ROb…an absolutely fantastic interview mate
MANOS DE PIEDRA.....''THE HANDS OF STONE''......WELL DONE ON YOUR INTERVIEW. This is the most conscious input from ''ANYBODY''......He knows boxing from '' A to Z '' I have met him on four occasions up here in Newcastle in the North East UK. He is an absolute gentleman and a living legend and we should be graced by his presence at this world heavyweight title fight.
at the time when he embraced de jesus this was such a humane and selfless act by duran . people all over the world scorned and despised hiv/ aids infected persons . this man called " roberto duran" broke this stigma with one simple act of compassion. what a man in and out of the ring, god bless you , " HANDS OF STONE AND LOVE"
@@boxingnews__ Duran has fist of stone and heart of Gold, his generosity towards poor people of Panama is widely appreciated and known in his native land
In the ring he was a vicious harbour shark of a fighter and outside a kind, happy man, in 2010 I had the privilege of shaking his and Thomas hearns hand and having my photograph taken with them during their uk tour.
my fav fighter ever good to see him travelling the world with his family People need to stop asking Duran about Floyd fight, we all know that Floyd would never enter the ring with Duran
I got into an argument with a young boxing newbie who dared say that Canelo is greater than Roberto Duran. How do you argue with an ignorant person? Roberto Duran is easily in the top five greatest boxers of all time. Let's see how the drug cheat Alvarez stacks up in these next few years. He needs bigger wins than the washed up or never have been champions he has on his resume. Long live Roberto Duran!
He had a speech problem which has now disappeared. He explained years ago that it was because of the car accident he had in Argentina. I thought it was because of all the punches he had received in boxing. Lo and behold, that problem is totally gone now - he was right after all.
AJ came in to the weigh-in in his best Shredded shape ever from putting in a lot of Work at sparring. AJ sparred 13 South paws for 6 months while Usyk sparred only 5 orthodox fighters for three months. AJ weighed 108.86Kg in the last fight while Usyk weighed 98.23Kgs Now in the current weigh in AJ weighs 110.9Kgs while Usyk weighs 100.5Kgs. In appearance, AJ looked like he lost 5Kg fat from the last fight and gained 7.9Kg of useful muscles from training while Usyk looks like he lost 2kg muscles only to add 4.5kg of fat to his body for the fight. If anything AJ is in a fantastic position to win the fight now more than ever. Usyk cannot knock out AJ but AJ can Knock out Usyk (i doubt the sparring tales just like i doubted his size). Hopefully when AJ wins there will be no War effect excuses.
No you wouldn't best Mayweather hes not a brawler hes a pure boxer pick you apart. You won sugar ray the first time because he was fighting your fight that would never happen to Floyd Mayweather he fights is fights
@@ChampChamp2024 maidana was like a drunken sailor trying to swat a fly with pure wild punches? And Duran was a slow beer drinking boxer looking for a brawl confrontation. May weather don't play those games just counter punches to the face and good defense .
@@ChampChamp2024 a good boxer with speed and ring IQ wins every time That's Mayweather that's sugar ray p2? Duran vs manny pac would be more scary to your liking with two boxer brawler types
Such a silly lair. :)) If he saw the Usyk-AJ fight he would not forget it. And it sounds silly to come to Saidi Arabia specifically to see their fight if he didn't even remember the spectacular AJ's defeat by Usyk. :)) The guy is not very smart to lie in a less ridiculous way. :))
Duran was a great fighter, no doubt. I watched his fights as a lightweight many times. He is so arrogant and thinks he is "the greatest." He always has an excused for losing. When he lost to Hearns Duran claimed he was hungover. I think he was a brawler and big puncher, but he lacks good boxing skills. This is why fighters like Leonard, Hagler and Benitez beat him. All three of these boxers were great technicians. If Leonard would have brawled with Duran the second time, Leonard would have lost that fight too. No, Mr. Duran you were never a good boxer. You were a brawler and puncher. Actually, boxing skills was his weakness.
@@nodo7575 "one of the most skilled boxers ever." That is too funny. 😆🤣So, if that is the case than he ranks with Ali, Robinson, "Finito" Lopez and others who really have boxing skills. 😅 Thanks for the laugh. Don't get me wrong, I watched Duran's matches before he became lightweight champion. Perhaps the greatest Latin fighter EVER!
What is your favourite Roberto Duran moment? 🤔👇
The worse Duran moment was hearing my favourite ever fighter answer ur question about punching a horse. 🙁
@@whataboutme7174 He was 14 years old and drunk you silly goose. I absolutely love that story
@@TimmyTurner421 The fact u love it says more about you than me, 14 & drunk is a crap excuse not a reason

Thank YOU!
That was brilliant Rob, fair play 👏
Can only imagine. The man's a great

You're most welcome. It was our pleasure to speak to the legend. 👊

Surreal moment.
Epic interview!
2 LEGENDARY ROB'S 🤣✌🏼🥊
That’s kinda screwed up when I really think about it. Should have kept that story to himself
Duran is looking so well. Long life to such a legend 👏👊
In my opinion the greatest fighter ever
A real master boxer
What a great boxer and what a great person
A LEGEND.
I am truly elated to see Roberto Duran looking in such good health and so articulate in this interview.
He was fantastic to be around. What a legend.

We're glad you enjoyed it Eddie..
Wow a legend.
His first fight when he beat sugar ray is my greatest fight ever…
Arguably the greatest win in the history of the sport.
@@boxingnews__ it is the greatest win in the sport, 2 of the top 10 all time greats fighting in there prime. It hasnt been done before or since
@@tonron888 Roberto was not in his prime. He turned pro in 1967 Ray turn pro in 1977 that was all natural weight on Ray.RAY was in his prime
This is a real treat, thank you.
What a fantastic interview. To work Rob, great to hear from a legend like Roberto Duran!
Man that horse story was wild hahahaha! Duran was only 14 years old
Hands of stone 👊

People need to stop asking Duran about Floyd fight, we all know that Floyd would never enter the ring with Duran
as a panamanian, massive respect to the translator 🤣
Think it’s his son
Incredible interview
Thank you!
Brilliant 🤩

Can't argue with that. It's literally impeccable to fight with that much ignorance.
Duran is 3 levels above Canelo. No comparison at all.
He had a speech problem which has now disappeared. He explained years ago that it was because of the car accident he had in Argentina. I thought it was because of all the punches he had received in boxing. Lo and behold, that problem is totally gone now - he was right after all.
If Kugan did this interview he would have asked him about jake paul and what his favorite color was.
haha so true 😂 Tebbutt is a real one 👍👏
Hahahah
#LivingLegend EPIC!! 34:03
Easy to say and difficult to prove that. I decide and I am the boss in ring, especially in front of Oleksandr Usyk.
The real AJ 🤣 glad to see that to be honest shows passion and pain
Seems as far as Roberto is concerned... nobody ever really beat him... would have been nice to get his reason for his loss against Hearns
Hahaha he was partying with women he said having threesomes 🤣🤣🤣 funny comment this
He showed the world what fighing meant, when he beat Iran barkley .
Another brilliant victory for Duran.

Usyk cannot knock out AJ but AJ can Knock out Usyk (i doubt the sparring tales just like i doubted his size).
Hopefully when AJ wins there will be no War effect excuses.
yeah WAR excuses are completely illegitimate LOL my favourite is AJ didn't tried to hurt him by Gareth Davis
Usyk almost stopped him in the 12th numbnuts. In fact he will tomorrow.
WhT happened
No you wouldn't best Mayweather hes not a brawler hes a pure boxer pick you apart. You won sugar ray the first time because he was fighting your fight that would never happen to Floyd Mayweather he fights is fights

“Lack of boxing skills” absolute nonsense. Go watch his 3rd fight with Esteban de Jesus. Duran put on a masterclass and then knocked him out
He thinks how all great fighters think . Big deal. Boxing skills was a his weakness? Lil boy shushhhh
"Lacks good boxing skill" talking about one of the most skilled boxers ever lmao. Listen what Floyd and Roger Mayweather had to say about him mate.
@@jbd5870 And what was kind of funny I thought was when Duran said before a fight, I'm going to change my style and begin to box more.
