Roberto Duran - Panamanian boxer "Manos de Piedras" Born: June 16, 1951 Place: Panama City, Republic of Panama Career Record: 104 Wins, 15 Loss, 69 Knockouts One of only 4 fighters to hold 4 different world titles— lightweight (1972-79), welterweight (1980), junior middleweight (1983) and middleweight (1989-90); lost famous “No Mas” welterweight title bout when he quit in 8th round against Sugar Ray Leonard (1980); finally retired in 2002 at the age of 50 with a record of 104-15 (69 KOs). Roberto Duran pound for pound was one of the greatest fighters in the world. His record of 69 KO's out of 104 fights he won in my book is quite an accomplishment! That means that out of all his winning bouts, Roberto Duran, won 66 percent by knock out! That is why all of his fans referred to him as "Mano de Piedra" Duran. He has retired but his legend lives on... Yes, watching Roberto Duran fight was always a thrill for me... You could sometimes see me yelling at the TV with... Dale mas fuerte... Now lets escape to Panama... a lost tropical paradise at 9 degrees above the equator… Panama at the cross roads of world commerce in the heart of the universe… Panama more than just a canal… What a place to get away from it all... Just do it... you will be glad you did!!! Aye Caramba!...Parada...Yo dije parada! No me digas que no! Dale mas fuerte!Yes this will be our first stop and one of many if you stay on the Chiva as we explore a lost paradise at the crossroads of world commerce in the heart of the universe.
