	National Review: Mucho mas - boxer Roberto Duran
		Roberto Duran is among the ten greatest prize fighters in history and was that even before, at age 29 in 1980, with 14 years in the professional ring--having held the lightweight (135 lbs.
		And Duran remains among the historical top ten 14 years after the anomalous--not ignominious nor even notorious--"no mas" rematch against the coy Leonard, during which, in the midst of the fight and at the center of the ring, he became one of the most mystifying fighters ever by simply quitting.
		That night, Duran's chin and heart were even harder and larger than his hands, but those hands and the reflexes that ignite them were too slow to strike.

	Remembering Roberto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Roberto Carlos Duran was born in the impoverished Chorillo section of Panama.
		Duran fought much of the fight off the ropes, and although he was effective, perhaps it was just the fact that Duran was on the ropes that allowed for rounds to unfairly be scored in favor of Simms.
		Perhaps seeing Duran take Barkley’s best punches knocked Iran’s morale level down a notch or two, or maybe it was just the frantic pace of the fight that simply took a lot out of Iran, but the ninth through twelfth round was for the most part dominated by the 37 year old Duran.

	Boxing Scene Forums - Roberto Duran V.S. Aaron "The Hawk" Pryor @ jr. welterweight
		Personally, I think the only advantage Pryor would have over Duran, would be in the workrate dept.(I see them being pretty even in stamina, power and toughness).
		Duran may not throw as many punches as Pryor in this matchup, but I have no doubts he's going to be the one landing a lot more of them and with much better accuracy.
		Duran at 140, would be better than the Arguello that Pryor fought.
