Roberto Duran Samaniego
(born June 16, 1951) 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
. Duran also reigned as the
undisputed
and
lineal
lightweight champion and the lineal welterweight champion.
[2]
He is also the second boxer to have competed over a span of five decades, the first being
Jack Johnson
. Duran was known as a versatile, technical
brawler
and
pressure fighter
, which earned him the nickname "
Manos de Piedra
" ("Hands of Stone") for his formidable punching power and excellent defense.
[3]
In 2002, Duran was voted by
The Ring
magazine as the fifth greatest fighter of the last 80 years,
[4]
while boxing historian
Bert Sugar
rated him as the eighth greatest fighter of all time. The
Associated Press
voted him as the best lightweight of the 20th century,
[5]
with many considering him the greatest lightweight of all time. Duran retired for good in January 2002 at age 50, following a car crash in
Argentina
in October 2001, after which he had required life saving surgery. He had previously retired in November 1980, June 1984 and August 1998, only to change his mind. Duran 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 Benitez
in January 1982, Duran was trained by legendary boxing trainer
Ray Arcel
.
Early life
[
edit
]
Roberto Duran was born on June 16, 1951, in
Guarare
, Panama. His mother, Clara Samaniego, was a native of Guarare and his father, Margarito Duran, an American of Puerto Rican heritage was stationed in Panama for the U.S. Army at the time of Roberto’s birth.
[6]
He was raised in the slums of
El Chorrillo
in the district "La Casa de Piedra" (The House of Stone), in Panama City. He began sparring with experienced boxers at the Neco de La Guardia gymnasium when he was only eight years old.
[7]
Amateur career
[
edit
]
Duran competed as an amateur, compiling a record of 29?3
[8]
(other sources say 18?3 or 13?3
[8]
[9]
), with all 3 losses coming in Duran's first 3 amateur fights. Following his amateur career, Duran made his professional debut in February 1968 at the age of 16.
[10]
Professional career
[
edit
]
Lightweight
[
edit
]
Duran won his first 31 consecutive professional fights, and scored knockout victories over future
Featherweight
Champion
Ernesto Marcel
and former
Super Featherweight
Champion
Hiroshi Kobayashi
, culminating in his first title bout in June 1972, where he defeated
Ken Buchanan
in
Madison Square Garden
for the
WBA
Lightweight
Championship. Duran, as a 2-to-1 underdog, scored a knockdown against the defending champion just fifteen seconds into the opening round and battered him throughout the bout.
[11]
He was well ahead on all three cards as the bell rang to end the 13th round, at which time Duran (apparently not hearing the bell) continued to throw a couple of extra punches as Buchanan lay on the ropes. As Duran continued punching, the referee, Johnny LoBianco, grabbed him to pull him away. He pulled down on Duran's arms, which led to a seemingly accidental low blow. Buchanan dropped to the canvas in pain. His trainer Gil Clancy later said he had believed the blow to have been caused by a knee. Duran was not disqualified from the bout; instead, he was deemed as winner by thirteenth-round technical knockout.
[12]
Columnist
Red Smith
of
The New York Times
wrote that LoBianco had to award the victory to Duran, even if the punch was a low blow, as "anything short of pulling a knife is regarded indulgently" in American boxing.
[13]
Buchanan said he left the fight "with sore balls".
[14]
Duran followed up on his title winning performance with several non-title matches. Later that year, in another non-title bout, he lost a ten-round decision to
Esteban De Jesus
. Duran got back on track with successful title defenses against Jimmy Robertson,
Hector Thompson
and future Lightweight Champion
Guts Ishimatsu
. In 1974, Duran avenged his loss to De Jesus with a brutal eleventh round knock out. In 1976, he defeated future
Light Welterweight
Champion
Saoul Mamby
. Overall, Duran made twelve successful defenses of his title (eleven coming by knockout) and amassed a record of 62?1, his last defense coming in 1978 when Duran fought a third bout with De Jesus in a unification match wherein Duran once again knocked out De Jesus and captured his
WBC
Lightweight Championship. Duran gave up the
Undisputed
Lightweight Championship in February 1979.

Welterweight and The Brawl in Montreal
[
edit
]
Vacating the Lightweight title was a buildup for an attempt at the
Welterweight
title. Duran earned wins against former
WBC
Welterweight Champion
Carlos Palomino
and Zeferino Gonzales, among others, setting the stage for a title bout against then-undefeated WBC
Welterweight Champion
Sugar Ray Leonard
. The venue chosen was the
Olympic Stadium
in
Montreal
(the same location where Leonard won an
Olympic
gold medal during the
1976 Summer Olympics
). Duran resented the fact that he was getting only one-fifth of the money that Leonard was getting, despite the fact that Duran was entering the bout with an incredible 71?1 record and seen by many as the best boxer of the decade of the 1970s. To the surprise of Leonard and his camp, who had expected a warm homecoming from the place where Leonard had won Olympic gold, Leonard only got a mixed reception in Montreal, while Duran was incredibly popular with the crowd, with Leonard later admitting that Duran's popularity in Canada "threw me for a loop". On June 20, 1980, Duran captured the WBC Welterweight title by defeating Leonard via a 15-round unanimous decision (145?144, 148?147, 146?144), although it was incorrectly announced as a majority decision in the ring with the 148?147 scorecard being incorrectly announced as 147?147.
[15]
The fight became known as "The Brawl in Montreal".
"No Mas" in New Orleans
[
edit
]
After defeating Leonard in Montreal, Duran gained iconic status in his home country, Panama. Leonard initiated the rematch clause and asked for the fight to be the following November. In their second fight, Leonard successfully changed his tactics, using more footwork and movement than he had in their first fight, and Duran was unable to get Leonard against the ropes. During the seventh round, after Leonard had gained a slight lead on the scorecards, he began taunting and mocking Duran. Towards the end of the eighth round, Duran suddenly stopped fighting, and according to referee
Octavio Meyran
and ABC commentator
Howard Cosell
, Duran repeatedly said "No mas" ("no more"), which was denied by Duran, his cornermen
Ray Arcel
and Freddie Brown, and his manager Carlos Eleta, with Duran claiming he had said "No quiero pelear con el payaso" ("I do not want to fight with this clown [Leonard]"). According to Meyran, in addition to saying "No mas", Duran also said in broken English "I don't box anymore".
[16]
[17]
In a 2016 interview, Duran claimed that what he actually said was, "No sigo" ("I won't go on"). For a brief time after the "No mas" debacle, Duran retired from boxing, but soon changed his mind, not wanting to end his career on such a bad note.
[18]
Light middleweight and middleweight
[
edit
]
He took some time to recover from that fight and gained even more weight to contend for the
WBC
Light Middleweight
title, but losing in his first attempt at a championship in that division on January 30, 1982, against
Wilfred Benitez
by a 15-round unanimous decision, this after having defeated Nino Gonzalez and
Luigi Minchillo
, two rated Light Middleweights, both by ten-round decisions in non-title bouts. Duran was also to lose his comeback fight in September 1982 in Detroit.
Kirkland Laing
, from London, shocked the boxing world, producing the type of display his talents promised yet he so rarely produced, taking the split decision. After being relegated to a 10-round walk out win over Englishman
Jimmy Batten
at
The Battle of The Champions
in
Miami
, Duran signed with promoter
Bob Arum
. This marked the beginning of a comeback in which he beat former world champion and now hall of famer
Jose Cuevas
via a fourth round knock-out, which earned him a second crack at the light middleweight title, this time against
WBA
Champion
Davey Moore
.
The WBA title bout took place at
Madison Square Garden
on June 16, 1983, which also happened to be Duran's 32nd birthday. The still inexperienced Moore (12?0) was game through the first three rounds, but by the 4th, Duran said he knew Moore couldn't hurt him, and an onslaught began.
[19]
The pro-Duran crowd at ringside cheered as Duran relentlessly punished Moore. By the end of the sixth round, Moore's eye had swollen shut and he was floored near the end of the seventh. Finally the fight was stopped in the eighth round as Moore was taking a horrific beating and Duran won his third world title. After the victory, Duran was hoisted up in the air as the crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to a sobbing Duran.
[20]
Duran later fought for the World
Middleweight
Championship, meeting
Marvelous Marvin Hagler
in Las Vegas on November 10, 1983. During the fight, Duran broke his hand and lost in a very competitive fight that went the full fifteen rounds. After 13 rounds, two of the judges had Duran one point ahead, and the other judge had it even. Hagler fought tenaciously to win the final two rounds and get a unanimous decision victory. The judges' scores were 144?142, 144?143, and 146?145. Despite the loss, Duran became the second man to take Hagler to a fifteen-round decision (
Vito Antuofermo
was the other) and the only one to do so while Hagler was the world champion.
In June 1984, Duran was stripped of his Light Middleweight title when the WBA did not approve of his fight with WBC Champion
Thomas "Hitman" Hearns
and took away recognition of Duran as world champion the moment Duran stepped into the ring to box Hearns. Duran again made history in the fight, but this time it was the wrong kind. Hearns dropped Duran twice in the first round and as he rose to his feet after the second knockdown, which ended the round, the former champion did not know where his corner was. Hearns went on to knock Duran down a third time in the second round and the fight was stopped, marking the first time in his career that Duran had been knocked out in a fight (the "No Mas" fight was officially recorded as a technical knockout, because Duran quit). Duran then retired for a second time, but changed his mind over a year later, and was back fighting in early 1986.
Duran did not contend another title fight until 1989, but made the shot count when he won the WBC Middleweight title from
Iran Barkley
in February. The fight is considered one of Duran's greatest achievements, as the 37-year-old former lightweight champion took the middleweight crown, his fourth title. In a tough, back-and-forth fight, Duran knocked Barkley down in the eleventh round and Duran won a split decision (118?112, 116?112, 113?116). The bout was named the 1989 "Fight of the Year" by
The Ring
.
Super middleweight
[
edit
]
Duran moved up to
super middleweight
for a third fight with
Sugar Ray Leonard
in December 1989 (a fight dubbed
Uno Mas
? One More ? by promoters), where Leonard's WBC super-middleweight title was on the line, although Leonard's camp insisted that the fight with Duran be at a 162lbs catchweight instead of the 168lbs super-middleweight limit that Duran favoured. In the end, both weighed in below the 160lbs middleweight limit. Duran was uncharacteristically flat for most of what was a strange fight. Although Leonard won the fight by a wide unanimous decision (120?110, 119?109, 116?111), by the end of the fight Leonard looked the worse for wear as he had suffered several bad cuts. Leonard's lip was busted by a headbutt in the fourth round, his left eye was cut in the eleventh round and his right eye was cut in the twelfth round. The cuts required more than 60 stitches. Duran didn't fight again until 1991, so had given up his WBC middleweight crown that he had won against Barkley. Duran seemed to be in decline after the third fight against Leonard, but he persisted and worked his way into title shots for the lesser IBC super-middleweight and middleweight titles in 1994, 1995 and 1996.
Duran fought
Vinny Pazienza
twice, in June 1994 and January 1995, for the IBC Super Middleweight Championship, with Pazienza winning both times by unanimous decision. In the first fight, Duran put Pazienza down in Rounds 2 and 5, but referee Joe Cortez controversially ruled the Round 2 knockdown to be a slip. The first fight divided the people watching as some felt that Duran had won a close fight, but others felt that Pazienza had won either narrowly or widely after finishing strongly in the last five rounds. The second fight was more lopsided in Pazienza's favour, as despite the official judges giving Pazienza the win by scores of 116?112, 117?111 and 118?110, the TV commentators expressed puzzlement at the closeness of the official scoring as they thought that Pazienza had won every round in a 120?108 shutout.
In 1996, Duran fought
Hector Camacho
for the vacant IBC Middleweight Championship. At the end of the fight, fans and TV commentators seemed in complete agreement that Duran had won the fight in an excellent performance, but the three judges saw the fight very differently and awarded Camacho the victory by a very controversial unanimous decision. Duran's old rival, Sugar Ray Leonard, commentating at ringside, was baffled at the scoring and called it an early Christmas gift for Camacho, with the result motivating Leonard enough to come out of a 6-year boxing retirement to face Camacho himself in 1997. In 1997, Duran was defeated by former champion
Jorge Castro
in Argentina. Duran then fought Castro in a rematch bout in Panama and won via unanimous decision, maintaining his unbeaten record in Panama.
In 1998, at the age of 47, he challenged 28-year-old WBA Middleweight Champion
William Joppy
. Joppy, a trim, quick-fisted fighter, battered Duran to defeat in just 3 rounds. It was Duran's most emphatic loss since the Hearns fight, over a decade earlier. Duran then announced his retirement for the third time in August 1998, but soon changed his mind and was back fighting in March 1999.
In June 2000, Duran avenged a previous loss to Pat Lawlor from 9 years before and won the NBA Super Middleweight Championship on his 49th birthday. He lost the title a year later to Hector Camacho in a rematch bout and in what would be Duran's final fight.
Retirement
[
edit
]
In October 2001, Duran traveled to
Argentina
to promote a
salsa music
CD that he had just released. While there, he was involved in a car crash and required life-saving surgery. After that incident, he announced his retirement from boxing at the age of 50.
[21]
Announcing his retirement, Duran cited the weight issues of his friend, Argentinian football legend
Diego Maradona
, as motivation for getting back in shape, stating "as of now, I am exercising so that when the [retirement] honors arrive the people will see me in shape. I don't want to [look] like Maradona did, all fat."
[21]
Duran's five world title belts, which he won in four different divisions, were stolen from his house in Panama in 1993 during a robbery allegedly staged by his brother-in-law, who gave them to memorabilia seller Luis Gonzalez Baez, who stood trial for trying to sell stolen goods. Gonzalez Baez allegedly sold the belts to undercover
FBI
agents. He alleged that Duran authorized the sale of the five belts to him during a time that Duran was facing financial trouble. On September 23, 2003, a federal judge in
Florida
ordered the five belts returned to Duran.
His 70 wins by knockout place him in an exclusive group of boxers who have won 50 or more fights by knockout. He is ranked number 28 on
The Ring
'
s list of 100 greatest punchers of all time.
On October 14, 2006, Duran was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in Riverside, California,
[22]
and on June 10, 2007, into the
International Boxing Hall of Fame
in Canastota, New York.
In June 2020, Duran was diagnosed with
Covid-19
after going to hospital with
common cold
symptoms. Duran underwent treatment for the disease.
[23]
Coincidentally, the diagnosis came on the 48th anniversary of Duran's first world title victory against Ken Buchanan, which took place on June 26, 1972. He was released from the hospital weeks later.
[24]
Today he is the brand ambassador of
Panama Blue
, Panama's premium bottled water.
[25]
Duran is a licensed ultralight aircraft pilot in Panama. He flew a Quick Silver MX model.
[26]
Duran's daughter, Irichelle Duran, was a professional boxer herself who garnered a record of one win and two losses in three bouts, with one win by knockout. She is a resident of
Puerto Rico
.
[27]
In March 2024, it was revealed that Duran suffers a heart problem known as
atrioventricular blockage
, He had surgery on Monday 18 March in Panama to have a pacemaker placed in his chest.
[28]
Appearances in film/music
[
edit
]
Film
[
edit
]
Duran's first appearance in a movie was in the 1979 film
Rocky II
as a lightning-fast sparring partner for
Rocky Balboa
. Outside of this, Duran had minor roles in
Harlem Nights
.
Duran's life and boxing career are told in the documentary
Los punos de una nacion
("The Fists of a Nation") by Panamanian filmmaker Pituka Ortega-Heilbron. Duran also appears very briefly during an interview for the documentary
The Panama Deception
(1992), in which he recounts his experience during the
United States invasion of Panama
.
The biopic
Hands of Stone
stars
Edgar Ramirez
as Duran,
Robert De Niro
as Ray Arcel and
Usher
as Sugar Ray Leonard, and was released on August 26, 2016.
[29]
[30]
Television
[
edit
]
Duran played the drug lord Jesus Maroto in
Miami Vice
season two, episode 19.
In "Corporate Warriors", the fourth episode of the second season of the hit American crime drama
CSI: NY
, Duran is mentioned by the medical examiner while discussing a dead man found to have bone grafts put in his hands to boost his punching power.
Music
[
edit
]
The song "The Eyes of Roberto Duran" by
Tom Russell
, from the album
The Long Way Around
, contains the lyric, "Panama City ? it's three in the morning; they're talking 'bout the Hands of Stone."
Duran is mentioned in the third verse of
Nas
' original demo for
It Ain't Hard to Tell
in the line: "Metaphors of murder man, hittin' like Roberto Duran, hold the mic in my hand, my lifespan."
[31]
The musician
Jackie Leven
recorded a song ("Museum of Childhood") that explores the events of the second world title fight between Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard.
Jazz musician Miles Davis, an avid boxing fan, recorded a tribute to Roberto Duran titled "Duran".
Duran is also mentioned in the third verse of
Paul Thorn
's "Hammer and Nail," based on Thorn's nationally televised fight with Duran:
I climbed in the ring with Roberto Duran and the punches began to rain down
He hit me with a dozen hard uppercuts and my corner threw in the towel
I asked him why he had to knock me out and he summed it up real well
He said, 'I'd rather be a hammer than a nail'
Texas rockabilly band
Reverend Horton Heat
mentions Duran in their song "Eat Steak," off of their album
Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em
.
Duran is mentioned in the salsa song "Pa'l Bailador" by Colombian singer
Joe Arroyo
in 1989, "A Roberto Duran, Aya en Panama, Mano de Piedra!" (To Roberto Duran, in Panama, Hands of Stones!)
Duran is referenced multiple times in the song "Uno Mas" by
Alex Soria
's band Chino.
Duran's 1983 fight with Davey Moore is referenced in the 2014 single, "The Possum," by American songwriter,
Sun Kil Moon
(i.e.
Mark Kozelek
), who often writes about boxers. Kozelek sings:
"They threw hard vicious guttural B-flats that shook their opponent /
Like a tough Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran, in the seventh round /
Davey Moore, June 16, 1983..."
[32]
Duran himself was a
Salsa
singer once, leading an orchestra named "Felicidad" after his wife. They recorded albums and frequented television shows in Latin America.
[33]
Duran is also mentioned by former rap duo Max and Sam (consisting of sports analyst
Max Kellerman
and his brother Sam) in their song 'Young Man Rumble' with the line "Got skills got stamina got Hands of Stone like the champ from Panama."
Duran is indirectly referred to in
Kevin Morby
's song "This Is a Photograph", in which Morby's father's struggle with aging is likened to Duran's career, from his early bravado to the "No Mas" fight against Sugar Ray Leonard.
[34]
Now time's the undefeated
The heavyweight champ
Laughing in his face
As it dances like Sugar Ray
Used to be, "C'mon, c'mon"
But now, "No mas, no mas"
