    Roberto Duran - Is a Panamanian former professional boxer who competed from 1968 to 2001. He held world championships in four weight classes: lightweight, welterweight, light middleweight and middleweight, as well as reigns as the undisputed and lineal lightweight champion, and the lineal welterweight champion. Durán was known as a versatile, technical brawler and pressure fighter, which earned him the nickname of "Mano de Piedra" ("Hand of Stone") for his formidable punching power and excellent defense. In 2002, Durán was voted by The Ring magazine as the fifth greatest fighter of the last 80 years. Durán ended his career with a professional record of 119 fights, 103 wins, and 70 knockouts. From May 1971 up until his second fight against Sugar Ray Leonard in November 1980, as well as in his fight against Wilfred Benítez in January 1982, Durán was trained by legendary boxing trainer Ray Arcel.

    One of the greatest fighters in boxing history! While Roberto Duran is remembered for his incredible inside game and offensive abilities, his defensive skills were also exceptional. This played a major role when he got older as he had to use all of his guile and experience against much bigger and physically stronger champions like Iran Barkley and Davey Moore. Living legend Hands of Stone past his prime but still great! www.patreon.com/haNZAgod

    The “Defensive Skills Past His Prime” is crazy. The longevity Duran had as a boxer is a testament to both his IQ and GOAT talent. I believe Duran even said he believes Floyd took some of his defense from him and Floyd speaks highly of him as well.

      Floyd, the guy who popularized the importance of being "undefeated" and has bashed many boxers who have a lot of losses always praisef Duran and never talked about his losses
      That's a testament to how great he was that even Floyd didn't care about his double digit losses and yet some "fand" will always bring up no mas 😂

    Its crazy how Duran was mostly flat footed when unleashing those HANDS OF STONE. Yet he was quick to switch to his toes and manuvuer himself out of the way. Incredible. His footwork is criminally underrated. Even the way he stalked opponents at time, like a zombie, gave opponents a false sense of being able to catch him. They quickly got countered or found themselves on the ropes by Durans own phenomenal footwork.

    There are defensive fighters, who fight on their back foot, try to keep the distance, not taking many risks... The amazing thing about Duran is how good his defence was while being such an aggressive pressure fighter, looking to get inside and punish you at the short-range. One of the best ever.

    The difference is that although it was passed his physical prime, as he got older WAS his defensive prime.
    As he became older, slower, and heavier he relied far less on speed and relentless mauling, and begin relying far more on timing, defense and masterful counter punching with precision and positioning himself correctly to accomplish it.
