        Best quote from Four Kings:

        "Some woman, I think it was Mendoza's wife, jumped in the ring and made a beeline for Duran", Goodman recounted to Al Goldstein in A Fistful of Sugar. "He just whirled around and flattened the broad withth a right hand better than the one he starched Mendoza with."

        "The thing about it was, there was nothing contrived about any of it." Goodman recalled to me more than three decades later. "Some guys try to create an image by acting like some kind of animal, but not Duran. He actually WAS a ****ing beast."

            American Son by Oscar de la Hoya, Steve Springer. It's about DLH's life. It's an okay book.
