Without a doubt Roberto 'Hands of Stone' Duran should be in HOF! Once this guy hit you you were going to sleep! He's a 'REAL OLD SCHOOL WARRIOR'! Put it this way most people wouldn't wanna trade stamps with the man let alone trade punches with him! Duran was also s very smart boxer who also had a very good defence with constant head and body movement. This guy generated so much patriotic pride in Panama that when he fell behind with his taxes the Panamanian Government wiped them completely! This goes to show you how highly he is regarded! Sugar Ray Leonard even admitted that he never knew Duran was so quick or that he punched so hard! 120 fights, 104 wins with 69 KOs really says it all. Tell me one 'other new school' fighter has had over 100 fights??? Even 50?? You start calling yourself a 'REAL FIGHTER' once you've had 50+ fights, not 30 with two plastic belts either!!! In 2002, he was chosen by The Ring Magazine to be the 5th greatest fighter of the last 80 years. He held world titles at four different weights! What more could the guy have on his CV in order to make a statement! To sum up Roberto Duran, the guy's a "PURE ANIMAL"! One of the GREATEST!!!!
