Really good post , you make an excellent point. Duran got there with his fists .

A lot of people don't know this but Sugar Ray Robinson told Art Rust Jr back in the day the best fighter he's ever seen besides himself is Roberto Duran. And that's a fact, coming from Mr P4P himself.

Thanks for the heads up on the book , I just bought it on Amazon , it's available on Kindle and the Kindle App and you can also buy the physical version of the book.

I found it in a used book store in Sarasota FL last year and even as Duran is my all time favorite fighter, I never knew this book exists. Bought it for $14. Best boxing book I ever read, Duran wrote a perfect book.

Duran, as his book I AM Duran reveals, was always a special talent in the ring. Like Pacquiao, nothing in the world was going to stop him. A gift from the boxing Gods. A superhuman fighter who beat all odds, beat the system and went straight to the top. Some people want boxing abolished, heroes like Duran are why it will never be.
