Don't know if it's true but I've been to nearly 20 of his fights live and he always brought a crowd.

Roberto Duran was obviously past his best when Vinny beat him. But surely the Pazmanian Devil must have possessed some talent to be able to overcome Duran's deep bag of veteran boxing tricks. Especially coming off a broken neck.
How good of a fighter was he?

Anyways he was a pretty solid fighter. His battles with Greg Haugen (who’s underrated) are classics and is what I remember him for.
