Obviously, Duran is past it & out of shape, but like all great champs, you can see that he still has the skills to a certain degree.

Benn must have felt privileged to share a ring with such a great fighter!

yeah i saw this a while back, proper top bit of footage. Love the acid house in the background.. booyah!! :P

Duran stopped in at my gym when he fought Jeff Lanas here in Chicago in 88.
He was with former belt holder Juan Nazario.
They sparred a few times over a week or so.
Roberto had less pop than he did in this video with Nigel.
Nazario just kinda boxed circles around him.
Duran looked bad against Lanas a week or two later when he fought.
It really looked like he didnt have much left .In the gym or in the fight.
But then he turned around a short time later and pounded lumps on Iran Barkely to win the middleweight belt.
Tough to figure Duran sometimes.

Are there any books on Duran apart from the Christian Giudice one, 'Hands of Stone'?
