I have often wondered why Duran was called 'Hands of Stone'
He was very lucky against Ken Buchanan when he hit him with an extremely low blow. If the fight had been in any other country he would have been disqualified. Duran then refused to give Buchanan a rematch. Why ? Perhaps he knew Buchanan had the beating of him. And then there was Duran's fight against Sugar Ray Leonard. The famous 'ne mas' when he retired on his stool between rounds. How many World Champions have retired during their fight saying 'no more' ? Not many, if any.
No, Duran was not the warrior that he liked to think he was.
