@@havrisen6620 duran did tougher things in the ring than anyone else against much larger fighters who were the best ever boxers in their weightclasses, duran was the only one to beat leonard in his prime and gave hagler all he could handle imagine being a 5´7 tall lightweight going toe to toe against the best middleweight ever who is much bigger than duran yet duran was leading over hagler after rounds 12 and 13 in that fight, just to compare, mikey garcia went up and lost every round against spence who is only the best welterweight today but nowhere near as good as leonard and hagler was. durans victory over a prime barkley age 38 is also impressive. duran was both an excelent fighter and athlete
It was his trainer, Plomo. He came up with the name, because Duran would knock someone out with his left hand, Plomo said I told you he hits harder with his left hand, and when Duran knocked someone out with right, Plomo said I told you he hits harder with his right hand. That's why it manos de piedra, hands of stone, not just hand of stone, hands, both hands.
Leonard would change his mind alot which means you can't trust him too much , Can't ask Duran, because he always making up excuses when he lost , but he cannot lie about the "No Mas" incident
Hand's of stone, coupled with a gaze of venomous intent. I feel honoured to have been alive when this phenomenon was in his pomp. They'll never be another fighter with Roberto's all round abilitie's.
@@joys8634 Patterson? Not at all lmao They have the same trainer and style,that's why they look alike in the ring lol Tyson himself said 3 fighters stood above the rest for him as role models.Jack Dempsey,Sonny Liston and his favorite Roberto Duran.
habt euch viel Mühe gegeben schön zu sehen das unsere Beats viele inspiriert haben Grüße raus an alle ebenso Fifty Vinc der mit mir diesen schönen Beat gemacht hat

I have to disagree about monzon. He wasn’t as adventurous in terms of pulling of techniques as duran. But he was just as cold and just as calculated. Knew how to use every inch of his reach. Iron chin and impenetrable defence. Monzon was a fortress
Shifts do not *generate* power. The *shift* itself is generated from a powerful cross or a hook. When you put too much power into your punches like Duran, you just happen to shift reflexively after losing balance. It depends on the fighter to use that loss of balance to score another cross or a hook from the opposite stance.
Fantastic with devastating power. I really enjoy seeing how he is so explosive and inflicts massive damage once he connects and comes in for the follow up. A great boxer indeed
Does anyone remember the movie “The Arrival” with Charlie Sheen? There’s a part where Charlie Sheen goes into a machine the aliens use to give them a human appearance and Charlie Sheens character uses it to disguise himself because the aliens are looking for him. The skin it gives him looks almost exactly like Roberto Duran. It had to be based off Duran’s face because it’s a dead ringer.
Un grande al igual q Chávez cada uno en su epoca con defectos y virtudes pero mis idolos 1 y 2 por que pelear dos latinos muy buenos saludos desde México
@@char-lee212 Nope. Mexican-American. Duran has said so himself when meeting up with Chavez that they shared the same "blood". Also Aztecs came from the North before they went to Mexico. Which is the reason Mexicans or Native Americans get confused for eachother or why they look almost the same.
@@Ricardo_Martinez I have a question, please be honest. Duran loves Puerto Ricans and Blacks and he has Mexican blood. I've been racially mistreated, not by whites but Mexicans. Why do many, not all Mexicans hate Puerto Ricans and Blacks?
@@char-lee212 Clearly I haven't mentioned you Pelto Liqueños aka Wannabe Blacks or Blacks but since you wanna racebait and tell me bs. Tell me why Duran said Castillo whooped Floyd's charcoal ass?
Reberto Duran end a class all by his self there will never be another...The best infigher ever could do it all roll with punches swith hit as they call it......Hands of stone what I love about Duran was he would fight anybody.....He didn't pick his fight fearless and I believe If they would gave him time to train he would have beat Learnard again he gave a prime Hagler all he could handle after cleaning out the lightweight division...He move up and face Learnard,Hearns,Barkley and many more fought like al I believe 30 years and was still winning hands down one of the greatest of them all...
LATINOS UNIDOS LATINOS THE STRONGEST: I REALLY DO APPRECIATE THIS MASTERPIECE 💎 THE "LEGENDARY" WORLD CHAMPION ROBERTO "HANDS OF STONE" DURAN 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 Thank you, 👍💯 Boxing Highlights C4 TV
@La Quijada Boxing Duran top 5 Lightweight? 😂👌🏻 In your opinion he’s #1.You mean he’s your favorite. People get favorite confused with “best” and best with “favorite”. Actually that’s probably why he’s your favorite because you think he’s the best and vice versa. Lol! Not even his own two trainers rated Duran as the best Lightweight ever. I love Duran as a fighter. He was badass. But, the best Lightweight ever? I have a REAL HARD TIME even placing him in the top 10 and god knows I try. I just can’t do it. Gotta keep it real.
Mr.T you should stick with actors and leave the fighters to me. I’m 47 yrs old, hardly a “kid”, but thanks. I don’t have to ask “anyone” somebody else already beat me to it and his name was the legendary Jack Fiske. Actually, maybe that’s your problem, you ask “anyone” whereas people like myself and Jack Fiske ask men who were alive and adults and actually saw not just Duran, but all the great Lightweights of the past. For example Mike Tyson’s legendary trainer Cus D’AMATO whom everyone says is a boxing genius who had real difficulty TRYING to place Duran in the top 10. When it came to number 10 and he hadn’t gotten to Duran yet he literally told Jack Fiske, “I know I haven’t said Duran yet and I know I’m supposed to. You want me to say Duran. But, I just have a real hard time placing him above Chalky Wright or Sid Terris and several others for the 10 spot.”. D’Amato was just one of seventeen boxing aficionados interviewed. Of the seventeen interviewed ONLY one placed Duran in the top 10-his own trainer, Freddie Brown. He put Duran at #6. Ray Arcel, his other trainer, didn’t submit a list but said Benny Leonard was easily the best Lightweight he ever saw and said “Duran could’ve been a contender back in those days. He could’ve competed in any era. I’m not saying he’d been champion but he’s that good he could’ve competed with them.”. So even Duran’s own trainers who were on his payroll couldn’t bring themselves to tell a lie. The 17 men interviewed were all well respected boxing insiders, legends in the boxing community, who had actually witnessed them all. Not guys your age or my age that simply repeat what they've always heard. Basically what you’re saying is “Ask anyone who wasn’t even alive or old enough to have witnessed Duran at Lightweight or any of the fighters they claim he was better than.”. 😂🤫
@Mr.T Well, there’s just so many great ones it’s almost impossible to say. I mean, there are obvious ones like Henry Armstrong. Imagine if Duran, in 1975, moved up and defeated Jose Napoles or Emile Griffith for the welterweight crown, then moved up and defeated Carlos Monzon for the middleweight crown, then moving up and fighting to a draw with light-heavyweight champion Bob Foster that most felt he won and doing all as the lightweight champion of the world! Imagine Duran holding 3 world titles simultaneously when there were only 8 in all of boxing. This is the equivalent of what Armstrong did in one year as a lightweight. Not a former lightweight but STILL AS A LIGHTWEIGHT. Armstrong is just one example. There’s also the not so obvious guys like Puerto Rican great Carlos Ortiz who beat such men as Joe Brown, Ismael Laguna, Duilio Loi, Sugar Ramos, Kenny Lane, Battling Torres, Flash Elorde, Paolo Rossi, Doug Vaillant, Dave Charnley, Johnny Busso, Cisco Andrade, and Len Matthews. Only two men Duran fought at Lightweight would belong on the list that Ortiz beat and that’s Buchanan and DeJesus-that’s it. Duran didn’t have to deal with the type of competition Ortiz did. Yet, so-called “experts” today don’t even mention Ortiz or a Joe Brown. The farther you go back the tougher the competition gets. I love Duran as a fighter but truth is he enjoyed the weakest pool of talent the lightweight division had ever seen up to that time. And I think that’s why Arcel and Brown and D’Amato, and Brenner, and guys like that couldn’t bring themselves to to place Duran ahead of the greats. They simply said he belongs in the conversation of greats, but in no way the greatest. So, to answer your question, I’ve read an awful lot on boxing and the division of lightweight and have read from men I respect and most of them spent their entire lives in the boxing community and know everything there is to know about boxing not just as a sport or an art but as life. So, based on the research I’ve done, it would be almost foolish or bat shit crazy if I were to say anybody but Benny Leonard as the greatest Lightweight champion ever. He was that good. He was so fucking good it’s scary. Better than Armstrong, better than Canzoneri, better than Ramey, or Williams. Could he have beaten a Joe Gans or Kid LaVigne or Jack Blackburn? I don’t know. Could he have beaten a Sam Langford or Joe Walcott who passed through the division? I don’t know. What I do know is nobody can compare to the competitive HE REIGNED OVER. It was the greatest in history and NOBODY ever beat him as champion. Nobody.
@@havrisen6620 Naseem Hamed was hands down one of the best switch hitters in history. I know he was a cocky little shit, but his footwork and his head movement was elite level. If he practiced *actual* boxing he would've been almost unbeatable.
Great fighter Hands of Stone but cmon he gets a movie before JCC. Everyone forgets how much Chavez contributed to prize fighting in Vegas...the current epicenter of the sport. Not to mention his incredible win streak and wars in the ring. Heck, my son and will make the damn movie lol
In this video Duran is the starring. ¿Que coño tiene que ver Chavez aqui? ¿Que tuvo Chavez que ver con la carrera de Durán, cuando no pertenece a esa epoca ni brillaron en las mismas divisiones?
@@lawrenceramos4330 remember when Chavez quit against De la Hoya in the rematch. He said "no ya no" and gave up at 8 round. Memory should not be selective in favor or your own convenience.
Duran overated in my view. True champs don't quit (Leonard 2nd fight) nor do they get bombed out in two rounds (Hearns) unless your Joe Frazier. He gets a pass for big George. Plus he should have been disqualified vs Ken Buchanan( low blow). Not saying Duran wasn't a good fighter but who are the legends he beat? One very close 15 round decision vs Leonard and gave Hagler a tough scrap. Who else? Davey Moore? Lampkin? Carlos Palomino? Iran Barkley? Esdeban DeJesus?Good fighters but not elite in my view. Durans reputation is all about being the first to beat Leonard and I've watched that fight and feel Leonard should have got the nod in a close fight. Could have went either way
True champs like Chavez, De la Hoya, Zamora, Morales, Cotto, Chapo, Frazier, Liston, Holifield, Carlos Ortiz, Rigondeaux, Golota, Oliver MacAll, Roger Mayweather, and Kostya Tszyu quit.
