Roberto Duran roasting Floyd Mayweather Jr (English Subs) - Artorias Boxing 

The fac that he fought only to buy his mother a house says a lot, this man is a Legend.

It's great to see that Duran is lucid and doesn't show any lasting damage from a long, long career. He was a mighty warrior, one of the top five fighters of all time. He was just about a perfect fighter at this peak.

Mike Tyson said Roberto Duran was the boxer he looked up the most , a freaking beast ! That should tell it all

100% Facts from hands of stone. Duran is a legend.

I’m glad to see Roberto is still prideful. Lot of boxers lose that when as they age.

What blows my mind about Duran is how coherent he sounds. A lot of boxers, especially when they get up there in age, start to get pretty marble mouthed and slow down mentally. You can practically watch the gears turning. Duran seems to have kept his mind sharp.

Roberto is a fckn true legend.

The man said back then, better fighters, less money.....now, more money, lesser talent. Realest statement

'if he defends like this then i break his ribs'.. I totally believe him when he said that too..R.I.P Marvelous Marvin Hagler..The King among Kings

"Estamos parejos nada le debo" Enorme campeón!!!

Duran a legend

Ah, this Roberto Duran was a vile and nasty character in the ring. It would be better to be mugged in a dark alley than to stand in front of him in his prime.

Roberto was one of the best! Highly skilled, and tough as hell.

ROBERTO IS A BADASS! AND TRUE LEGEND FROM PANAMA 🇵🇦

Good to see that a boxer who had as many fights as Duran still has all his faculties. Loved the line about Mayweather learning everything from him.

Duran is absolutely right. when you defend like Mayweather; you expose your body. Ray Leonard proved this when he was nailing Floyd Sr with body shots everytime he went into that Philly Shell. and Duran is a much better body puncher than SRL

Robert Duran pretty much nailed it here.

roberto duran eres la leyenda de mi pais PANAMA

The true lion of boxing. The man who introduced me to boxing.

Algo importante que dijo Durán, antes habían buenos boxeadores, pero no había mucha plata, y ahora hay pocos boxeadores, pero hay más plata 🔥👍

Duran speaks from his heart.With a sincerity matched only by his fighting capabilities. El mejor boxerdor de todos los tiempos

what an OG. needs to get some chap stick tho

Duran was an honest boxer and that alone makes home the best to me.

Hands of stone. Known for body tko. One of the best in his time.

I'm a Steelers fan and know how much the fans love the players from the 70's. The same is to be said for how boxing fans feel about the great fighters of that era! Now a days, many of these fighters don't care if you have love for them. "It's all about them!"

just watched the sugar ray v duran fights for 1st time.just unbelievable fighters

"Hands of Stone" is now a movie! Roberto Durán wasn’t just a great boxer; his career was legendary, his boxing accomplishments hard to believe. He fought in 119 professional contests, winning 103 (70 by knockout) and lost only 16. He won titles in four different weight classes and fought in five decades, the 1960s through the 2000s, and he was 50 years old when he fought his last fight. Oh yeah, when Durán was 14, he reputedly knocked down a mule with one punch! This story doesn’t seem like fiction, because Durán was a fierce puncher whose competitiveness often astonished the crowd. In such a contest, few would have bet on the mule! Let’s explore the career of Roberto Durán, alias,Manos de Piedra, translated in Spanish as Hands of Stone. Was he truly the greatest boxer of all time? Mean Streets of Panama Roberto Durán was born in 1951 in Panama and grew up in the slums of El Chorrillo in the district of La Casa de Piedra (House of Stone) in Panama. Yes, Hands of Stone came from the House of Stone. Who would believe it? After a brief amateur career, Durán began his professional boxing career in 1968 when he was just 16. Fighting with little professional training, he still managed to win his first 21 fights without a loss, before wealthy landowner Carlos Eleta bought his contract for $300 and then hired trainers Ray Arcel and Freddie Brown to teach Durán the finer points of pugilism. Durán then went from being a devastating puncher to one with excellent defensive skills. Oh, yes, and he could also throw a great left jab and take a punch, both required attributes of a champion. First Title Fight Initially, Durán fought as a featherweight (127 lbs.), but his first title fight was for the World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight championship (135 lbs.) against Ken Buchanan at the famous Madison Square Garden in 1972. Durán battered Buchanan about the ring for 13 rounds, was way ahead on all score cards, and then at the end of the thirteenth round hit Buchanan with a body shot that Buchanan’s trainer considered a low blow caused by a knee to the groin, which video showed was not the case. Nevertheless, since Buchanan couldn’t continue the fight, Durán won the championship on a technical knockout (TKO). Thereafter, as far as some people were concerned, Durán was a dirty fighter, though anyone with two good eyes knew he didn’t have to be. At this point in Durán’s career, he was 29 and zero. Career as a Lightweight Durán won his first 31 fights and then fought a nontitle light welterweight bout against Esteban de Jesús, who, a stylish boxer, outpointed Durán for ten rounds and won the contest with a unanimous decision. This was Duran’s first loss in 31 fights. Two years later, in a rematch against de Jesús, Durán, repeatedly landing a left hook to the body, slowly wearing down de Jesús, finally knocked him out with a vicious - and memorable - right cross to the head in the eleventh round. For years, boxing fans remembered that punch. (Please note, in those days all championship fights lasted 15 rounds, not 12 as is the case nowadays.) Sugar Ray Leonard Durán, after amassing a record of 62 and 1, gave up his lightweight title in 1979 and began fighting as a welterweight (147 pounds). Continuing to win, Duran eventually squared off against Sugar Ray Leonard, the undefeated WBC welterweight champion. The fight took place at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, where Leonard had won a gold medal in boxing in the 1976 Olympics. Duran didn’t like the fact that he would be paid one-fifth of what Sugar Ray was supposed to make, so he taunted and insulted Leonard in press conferences before the fight, hoping to intimidate him. Well, apparently Durán shook up Sugar Ray, because in the fight he continually beat Leonard to the punch, winning a unanimous 15-round decision, the fight later dubbed as the “Brawl in Montreal.” The “No Mas” Debacle In his first fight against Sugar Ray Leonard, Durán seemed to have the mental edge, which is very important in a fight, almost as important as the physical aspect. But in the second one, fought just five months later, Leonard was determined to intimidate the Durán. For instance, in the seventh round, Leonard wound up with a right handed bolo punch and then hit Durán with his left hand. Then, during the eighth round, Leonard landed a solid uppercut against Durán, who turned and walked away from Leonard and declared, “No más!” (no more), ending the fight. A TV analyst for the fight, heavyweight champion Larry Holmes kept saying “I don’t understand.” Seemingly, only Durán understood why he quit. This was indeed a humiliating defeat for Durán, and if his career had ended at this point, he could have been labeled the biggest chump in the history of boxing. But Durán did what many people have done in the world of sport and the movies too, for that matter. Always having a flair for the dramatic, Roberto Durán redeemed himself. The Big Comeback On a related note, Durán had a cameo role as a sparring partner in the movie Rocky II, in which the comeback kid himself Rocky Balboa wants another shot at the heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed. Durán soon climbed back into the ring, fighting as a light middleweight (154 lbs.). He lost fights close fights against Wilfred Benitez and Kirkland Laing. Then Durán signed a contract with legendary promoter Bob Arum and got a title shot at hard-hitting Pipino Cuevas, knocking out Cuevas in just the fourth round. Also, in November 1983, Durán fought “Marvelous” Marvin Hagler, the great middleweight champion. Durán survived 15 rounds with Hagler, at the time, the only fighter to do so. Durán was ahead on the scorecards after 12 rounds but Hagler prevailed in the last three, winning the contest. Next, Durán fought another title fight, this time in June 1986 against WBA light middleweight champion Davey Moore. By the fourth round, Durán said he knew Moore couldn’t hurt him, so he relentlessly stalked the champion, eventually knocking him down with a thunderous right hand in the seventh round and the fight was stopped in the eighth, as Moore could no longer continue. As coincidence would have it, this was Durán’s thirty-second birthday. After the contest, the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to Durán, who sobbed openly. Regardless of the circumstances, Durán was nearly always a crowd pleaser and a hero to Latinos throughout the world, and the infamous “No Mas Debacle,” as the great announcer Howard Cosell dubbed it, became a distant memory. In 1989, Durán fought Iran Barkley, the WBC middleweight champion (160 lbs). He knocked down Barkley in the eleventh round and then won a close decision. Since Durán was 37 at the time, it is considered one of the highest achievements of his career. Ring magazine called it the greatest fight of the year. Twilight Years Now in his forties, Durán continued fighting as a middleweight throughout the 1990s. Against many opponents, he looked very impressive, and he managed to win the NBA super middleweight title in 2000, beating Pat Lawlor. Nevertheless, he lost three of his last five fights, which must have told him something. Finally, in July 2001, he lost the super middleweight title fighting against Hector “Macho” Camacho and retired at . . . 50! Afterword Today, there aren’t many professional boxers who will fight in over 100 bouts, much less win 103 of them. There aren’t many who will fight until they’re 50 years old either. Roberto Durán was certainly the last of a dying breed, soon to become extinct, it appears. But Durán didn’t simply fight for a long time (34 years); he was a great puncher-boxer with a stainless steel jaw and the heart of a tyrannosaurus. People liked him too and enjoyed his panache and ferocity. Only once did he throw in the towel, but he made up for this “bad night” many times over. Many boxing purists think Durán was the greatest lightweight fighter of all time, and this is almost certainly true. However, many think he was even better - the greatest fighter of all time. How about you?

i think he s right when he says that at the time, there was more good boxers than money could pay it.

Duran could punch, but it was his upper body mobility that made him hard to hit. One of the greatest, for sure!

I rooted against him alot growing up,but as I got older I gained alot of respect for him "Hands of Stone" fought em all and kept going!!!

Amazing the living legend has spoke !!! All truth

It was a different era. Best fighters of all time in it. Also they fought alot more often back then raising the skill level and for 15 rounds. Duran peaked at 28 years old in his 73rd fight against Sugar Ray Leonard. I always judge a fighter from the time he starts to his peak. Saying that I will say Muhammad Ali was the best followed by Duran. I don't see Maywether anywhere in it.

Roberto u look great man. Time has been very good to you. Congratulations on all of your success, and being able to look back on your life and say, i have something to show for it. God bless you brother.

Duran was a true beast in the ring, because he fought with his heart.

Duran is the only fighter that I call the natural. An instinctual born fighter who was always relaxed In the ring and put it in automatic. Great Great fighter one of the best of all time.

One of the best of ALL time. Period.

I would've loved to see pacquiao and duran fight. I'd probably give it to duran even though I'm a huge pacquiao fan. These two definitely deserve their spots in the Boxing Hall of Fame

A great boxer and true champion.

Great Boxer and Spoke the god honest truth about Mayweather

Living legend, Duran would take Floyd apart, Total beast in the ring

Hand's of Stone would put Floyd into sleep. For sure!

Duran is real good .. the BEST !

Duran was the most fearsome lightweight of his time. Once he got heavier he declined. Simple truth. Still, he was the essence of the word "fighter" for decades.

Roberto Durán está entre los diez primeros en todas las listas de mejores boxeadores que se han publicado los últimos años. En ninguna es el primero. El héroe panameño, sin embargo, encabeza la mía. Encaja con precisión en el molde de lo que considero un boxeador perfecto. O casi perfecto, concediendo que no hablamos de robots y que en todos los hombres del ring ha habido flaquezas y errores. Mike Tyson también dice que 'Manos de Piedra' es su boxeador preferido. De gallo a crucero, de 52 a 80 kilos, durante 33 años, se batió con rivales de doce categorías; en seis de esos pesos peleó con los mejores de su tiempo. Hizo 119 peleas, ganó 103. Despreció lo que más cuida un boxeador que se cuida, el equilibrio en el peso con el enemigo. Ken Buchanan, Esteban De Jesús, Carlos Palomino, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, Davey Moore e Irán Barkley son las referencias de sus grandes noches. Hay siempre mucho de gusto personal en la confección de listas. Durán es el que más me gusta en el grupo de los que cualquiera puede ser elegido; el de los excepcionales, los semidioses. Ponga usted en número uno a Willie Pep, a Ray Robinson, a Jack Dempsey, a Henry Armstrong, a Benny Leonard, a Muhammad Alí y no le diré que está loco. Le diré “Está bien, puede ser, eligió usted a un inmortal”. Desde siempre parece obligación decir que el mejor fue Sugar Ray Robinson. Es una gran elección, pero si Robinson es un buen candidato Durán también lo es, y es el mío. No olvido que existe el pasado, y sé que entre 1,400 campeones mundiales que ha habido son muchos los que pueden competir en cualquier discusión. Jack Johnson y Joe Louis entre los pesos completo; Harry Greb, Stanley Ketchel, Mickey Walker y Carlos Monzón en peso medio; en welter Barney Ross; en superligero Julio César Chávez; en ligero Joe Gans y Carlos Ortiz; en pluma Terry McGovern. Roberto Durán se bajó del ring en la segunda con Leonard, no peleó, se fue a su casa. Algunos no se lo perdonan e interpretan esa catástrofe deportiva como un signo de cobardía, que yo no veo. Se necesitaba ser más valiente para dejar el ring, que para quedarse. Lo que hizo en la noche aciaga de Nueva Orleáns fue producto de la locura, no de la cobardía. Sucedió después de haber bajado 12 kilos en un sacrificio demencial, los últimos cinco en 72 horas de tomar diuréticos y no comer, ni beber. No tengo que defenderlo, ni quiero. Hablo de un momento culminante en el boxeo de todos los tiempos, que manchó su carrera. Se bajó del ring sin medir lo que hacía, prescindiendo del menor compromiso con los millones que lo estaban viendo. Era Durán. ¿Cómo se elige entonces a quién es mejor peleador? Cuenta el de sus mejores noches, y algunas consideraciones periféricas que aportan al criterio. Robinson no podía perder con Paul Pender y perdió las dos veces que pelearon. Gene Tunney le ganó dos veces a Jack Dempsey, pero perdió una pelea con Harry Greb a quien aventajaba mucho en peso. A los boxeadores se los mide por la oposición que tuvieron y los resultados logrados. Vemos el mejor que fueron, su máximo nivel, y lo ensamblamos con la trayectoria . Hay varios Durán que recordar. El primero fue el que en 1972, con 21 años e invicto en 28 peleas, se coronó campeón de peso ligero ganándole a Ken Buchanan en el Madison Square Garden. De ese título el 'Manos de Piedra' hizo 12 defensas exitosas, ganando 11 por nocaut. Fue su tiempo glorioso en el que unificó opiniones como el mejor peso ligero de la historia, superando lo imposible, relegar a Benny Leonard, a Tony Canzoneri y a Joe Gans. Después vino el delirio, cuando apaleó y ganó la decisión a Sugar Ray Leonard en Montreal. Subió no favorito 5 a 1. Me gusta decir que ganó Durán “la única vez que pelearon”, porque en las otras dos peleas Durán no era Durán. Perdió con Leonard como Leonard perdió años más tarde con Terry Norris. En 1983 Roberto Durán, de 32 años, 12 kilos arriba de su peso natural, peleó con Marvin Hagler, de 29, por el título medio. Hagler ganó por 1, 1 y 2 puntos en las tarjetas, tras 15 rounds. Al final del round 12 Durán iba ganando, pero las peleas todavía eran a 15. Casi seis años después conquistó ese título venciendo a Iran Barkley con comodidad. Al final, ya se sabe, perdió 5 de sus últimas 15 peleas, por seguir en el ring a los 50 años de edad. No está mal si pensamos que Kid Gavilán fue un inmortal y de las últimas 15 perdió 9, yéndose a los 32. Y Robinson de las 15 del adiós también perdió 5, a los 44. Olivares perdió 6 en ese último tramo, y se fue a los 41. A golpes Roberto Durán se convirtió en leyenda. Sobre el espasmo sin final que es su hazaña deportiva se yergue la figura del coloso que mira a la inmortalidad.

Mis respetos para el Sr. ROBERTO DURAN , el mano de piedra,.Todo un campeon, saludos desde la Ciudad Monterrey Mexico.

He’s absolutely right. Especially about there’s more mo he in boxing today, but lesser fighters. The skill level of then vs now is vast.

I was skeptical of Duran overcoming Mayweather until a recent sparring video of him with well known contender Sergio Mora. It took a 65 year old Duran exactly 43 seconds to figure Mora out and have him backpedaling. He would've found a way to close the distance with Floyd. I don't know how, but I know he could do it in his prime. Respect !

Floyd would hug the shit out of Duran!

my favorite boxer!!!respect!!!

Much respect to Roberto Duran. I watched many of his fights back in the day. The guy was not easy to hit and he was very crafty and dangerous in the ring. I believe Mayweather would not have a chance if both had met in their prime. And I'm not a Mayweather hater.... I made plenty of money off of him. Lol.

Duran is damn lucid for a guy who fought like he did in the era that he did.

This man even went 70-0 before he lost show how much warrior in this man. Love to watch his explosive against big tough opponents and its a rare to see 5”7 inches boxer of today’s generation. Such very underrated boxers with 100+ fights should be recognised

He said it all in 2 1/2 minutes..👏👏👏👏👏👏

so happy to see duran speaking so well and normal after all the memories he shared the world hope the man keeps his faculties haha

I've been watching boxing for 32yrs, mayweather is truly not in my top 25

Compelling words from a sensational legend...might I add that Floyd ranked Duran 2nd in his "best of all time" list (after himself)? Quite ironic...

Roberto duran was a legend

We young generation are not blessed to witnessed the era of four kings(Thomas hearns,sugar ray,Marvin haggler and Roberto Duran. But we have heard that the world used to stop for a minute when these guys used to fight.

SALUDOS A MANO DE PIEDRA, UNO DE LOS MEJORES DE LA HISTORIA TE SALUDO DESDE ARGENTINA !!!! ACA SOS UN IDOLO !!

🔥🔥 Mayrunner fans listen to this legend, this is what the truth sounds like.

Working and training like a true Beast. And never riding around on his bicycle in the ring. Mayweather would have never went the distance with Duran.

"Hands of Stone" "Manos de pietra" Roberto Duran the Legend

Roberto Duran the king of Panama. Manny Paquiao the king of the Philippines. Both the best pressure fighter of all time.

Those fighters back then would of given Mayweather a boxing lesson and a butt kicking

One of the bests. Despite some losses, He is so very good 4 boxing. Fight more talk less. He fought bigger guys like Hagler, Hearn n several others.

That dude is just built DIFFERENT. All that infighting and against some of the BEST the sport has ever seen, and he still sounds and seems unbelievably mentally sound.

El mejor de todos los tiempos el Gran Gran El Manos de Piedra 👊🏼👊🏼Roberto Duran

People always neglect when mentioning the Castillo fight that Floyd fought him again in a rematch and did much better. I guess that screws with the narrative. Also, I don't think it's right to say Floyd didn't fight anyone when he beat Corrales, Castillo x2, Corley, Judah, DLH, Hatton, Marquez, Mosley, Cotto, Guerrero, Alvarez, Maidana and Pacquiao along with a slew of lesser contenders. It's kind of insulting to all the aforementioned champion-level fighters to act as if they're "nothing" just because you don't like Mayweather. He was exceptional defensively and had some real keen instincts and speedy reflexes, to go along with sharp, well placed offensive capabilities. No one's just beating him easily, let's not get delusional. I don't even like the guy, but people let their personal opinions cloud their judgement way too much sometimes.

I witnessed Duran's entire career. Right on CBC, NBC and ABC. Those bouts were shown right on TV. Not all of them, but a lot of them. Boxing is different now. The game seems to have shifted from "Winning" to........................................."not losing".

100% FACTS these boxer these day would stand a chance with these legends

Hearns would've wrecked Floyd within 3. Prime Duran would stop Floyd late.

Duran campeón mundial eterno para la República de Panamá viva Panamá panameño

In fact, Castillo's performance against Mayweather, especially the second half of the fight, reminded me of Roberto out-fighting Sugar Ray in their first fight.

I’m black n agree with Roberto lmao dudes one of my favorite boxers

Duran would have killed Mayweather in his prime...as would any of the "Big 4" at that time. I can't believe anyone in their right mind would say Mayweather is the best....now, I don't think people should downplay his talent but they should also be realistic.

One of the Immortal Four KING'S...

Ciao Roberto! Il migliore peso leggero di tutti i tempi !!!

Mike Tyson's favourite fighter of all time .

Manos de Piedras~Hands of Stone~A LIVING LEGEND~UNA LEYENDA VIVIENTE.......QUE DIOS LOS BENDIGA.

Great man and boxing scholar. You have to believe him. So glad Senor Duran does not display any lingering brain damage from his many battles in the ring. Great guy great fighter, a real champion on different levels

Great fighters don't quit in round 8

I like what he said, "i have no business going upstairs if he fought me i would break all his ribs." I went to see some of old Mayweathers fights and no one really took the body work seriously. They do some work down there but all they really wanna do is try to knock his head off. I'm a fan of mayweather, he is the best of this era. With that being said the best of this era would not make a dent on these men. Mayweather against Hearns, Leanord, Duran, or hagler would punish the shit out of floyd. These men were not only big, but they were nasty, and they hit as hard as rocks and they also had ring iq. These men would have figured out floyds game plan and would have punished him.

Duran was the Man in his Hay day, Duran was a Hell of a Good Boxer in the Day .

Totalmente de acuerdo con usted profesor....Saludos desde México.

The whole interview wasn't just about mayweather, the title is clearly just clickbait. Also, Duran is right he would of broken Mayweathers ribs, at lightweight or welterweight

Floyd is an amazing fighter but no way would he beat these fighters

that's true tho gayweather only fights for money and he did get whooped by castillo

Best lightweight and technical boxer ever. So knowledgeable. He was a martial artist in the boxing world.

THE LEGEND

Exacly Castillo whopped Floyd!

Duran Great Boxeur Fantastic

He calls Hagler, Hears, and Leonard "hermanos" love that

All the old timers talk obsessively about Mayweather and put him down. That really just proves how good he was and how envious they are of him. Like pouty children.

Duran is a Boxing Legend...PERIOD

Duran is saying the truth 🙏🏻

mayweather fought all the best of our day. he would destroy ggg even now if he came back.

Duran was not the greatest but he was clearly one of the greats. The interview went well until he started name dropping himself as the greatest. Sugar Ray Leonard schooled Duran. Still, Duran was a brilliant fighter and I think he would dismantle Mayweather if they both fought each other on their prime.

Yes, you're the best fighter... a true fighter.👏👏👏💪💪💪

Creo que para nadie es desconocido el talento de RMPD un hombre q siempre puso. N vilo al planeta x su calidad y golpe Dios bendiga a este panameño
