Yes, in the second Rocky movie in a sparring scene. You could see Duran trying not to make Stallone look too bad in the ring.

He was in another scene in Rocky II when Mickey asked Rocky (who was helping out at the gym) to teach this "little latino" to snarl. Where they taking the piss or what.

I have never seen Ali, for me seemed like a glorified remake of the Greatest - starring the man himself. Would have rather seen Ali start when the greatest ended from 1974 - 1984 (or beyond).
