Hello All,
I wanted to ask your opinion on this subject. While I was in New Orleans on new years There was this guy in a bar wearing a jacket that had Roberto Duran's name and picture on back. Couldn't help but notice he resembled him quite a but. Soon after some guys waked by and took pictures with him.
He later looked at me and I gave him the fist and he returned the stance. So I went over and talked to him. He spoke no English but was a very nice guy.
I signaled to him asking for a picture with him and he agreed so we took a couple. He had a lady there he was dancing with and she seemed very accustomed to the photos and all the attention.
I came home and googled some photos of Duran and think this may be just some guy posing as Roberto Duran.... I heard that he was having some health and heart issues as well as nose surgery. Could explain the puffy face. This guy looks heavier than the last photos I saw of Roberto.
Take a look at the photos and tell me what you think?
Thanks

No charge for the pic. He was just dancing and drinking. I've seen many Duran fights and he didnt look like him but I didn't have a photo with me so went along with it.
I'm 5'7 so this guy is a bit large to be Duran in all areas... height and weight.

Did he charge you for the photo or try to sell you anything?
The guy in the pics the OP put up apparently is running around pretending to be a boxing legend. Scary and sad. He couldn't even be one of those professional look-alikes. The guy is just too big, and frankly doesn't look all that much like Duran. As some have already mentioned, Duran is 5'7". He might have even shrunk a little, since he'll be 60 years old this summer. Speaking of shrinking, Roberto probably should have kept a little weight on. Being lean might be healthier, but he really looks like an old man in the photo "HTown Texan" posted. I guess we're all getting a little older....

Duran looks like an absolute wreck now.
I've seen him at some dinner thing more reecently and he's lost some weight.
He's in his 60's anywya,I doubt he cares how he looks.
You "gave him the fist" as in the traditional fist pump pose,right?
Yeah, the fist, not like a Jersey Shore fist pump or fisting. Just like the picture shown. Haha
