Duran with DeJesus, sad picture.

Very sad picture, but shows what kind of person Duran could be outside the ring. Anybody who remembers the 80's can tell you aids was a very scary disease and those who had contracted it were treated as pariahs. People just didn't take them in their arms and comfort them like that. I have no doubt that meant the world to DeJesus, coming from his one time nemesis.

That is a sad picture. Duran often gave the impression as a hard man. But in this picture we see what kind of person he really was.
