The fact Duran grabbed and touched Dejesus knowing he was dying of aids when there was so much misinformation about the disease was incredible show of the kind of person Duran could be- just incredibly human poignant moment

[@511dydy]

Yes... Its not emphasised on the video

[@flipthecoin888]

And he asked his daughter to kiss him too. Very profound.

[@Intenxsify]

Great detail left out in the video

[@outsiders4951]

Same thing my dad said when I told him of this incident- it shows exactly what kind of guy Duran was to disregard all the misinformation out there about how you could contract aids and to simply embrace De Jesus and kiss him and also order his daughter to the same, what a heart that warrior had. I bet De Jesus had a warm glow in his heart after that visit, what an amazing guy Duran was.

[@kieran8720]

Carlos Colon yeah that one really sticks out to me. The stigma especially in Latin countries... man. It was very touching.

[@averyzaliasylvia4026]

Fair play to Roberto Duran. That was at a time when people thought that you could catch aids by touching infected people.

[@michaelmccauley648]

I remember Alexis Arguello offering Ray Mancini encouragement after defeating him in Mancini’s first attempt at the title. Arguello told Ray he admired his quest to bring his father the championship because WWII interrupted the elder Mancini’s boxing career. To this day, it was one of the most emotional moments I’ve ever witnessed in sport.

[@blite13]

Ray bought off Duran's corner and they got Duran to sign for the rematch when he had no chance of being ready for the fight. Ray admits in the show 30 30 no mas, that his strategy was to get Duran in the ring at less than 100%. Now tell me, what kind of champ wants to fight a smaller fighter, past his prime, older....when he wasn't at his best? But Ray felt this is what he needed to win.....pretty sad.

[@billyeahbaby5934]

[@blite13]

@@markherring3513 if you know the history.....Duran's 'people' made the fight, Duran was very pissed because he knew he didn't have time to be ready. His own 'people' told him to take the fight and the money and there will be a 3rd match. He was coerced into signing. Leonard paid off Duran's mgmt team and Don King. He gave Duran 8 million and as soon as the 1st bell went, it was deposited in Duran's Panama account. Duran said he took the fight to be a 'good soldier' so that everyone would get paid. Leonard made it about money, knowing Duran and his 'people' had never had a huge payday like the one for this fight. He bought them off and literally bought the belt back. Duran was a mess after because he realized his own people had went for the money over him. He was heart broken and his love for the game was gone. Bob Arum relight Duran's passion and Duran was fighting major fights again. Leonard did all this because he knew he could not beat Duran when he was at his best....shameful.

Duran is the name that brings respect from everyone.

[@panama8009]

@Sleeve Of Wizard Anyone can get caught with a punch fool. That is why Roberto gought Hagler 15 roundd compared to 3 rounds from Hearns. In addition, hekicked Sugar Raysass in first fight and Hearns losing in 14th. Duran beat Iran Barkley who koed Hearns. Come to Panama tough guy and see who'sculo get kicked. Duran never backed down from anyone in his career. #5 Ring Mag All Time. Where is Hearns?

[@blite13]

@Sleeve Of Wizard Ray fought Duran only if he was out of shape. In Montreal, when Duran was in shape, he beat Ray very convincingly. In New Orleans, Duran was not even half of what he was in Montreal and that is how Ray wanted it. Ray admitted in the show 30 30 no mas, he admitted that he wanted to fight an out of shape Duran and when he saw Duran partying it up after Montreal, he called Mike Trainer to get Duran's people to convince Roberto to sign for a fight he could not be ready for. Ray threw most of his purse at the Duran corner as incentive to get him signed. Duran's people told Roberto that there would be a 2nd rematch after the fight in New Orleans. Then Ray began to clown Duran in the ring and Roberto said no thanks and seeing that over 8 million was put into Duran's bank account right after the 1st bell rings for RD 1, Duran figured they couldn't do much about it. Why Ray isn't held more accountable for this is amazing, but this is how America is with their 'heroes'. They can do no wrong no matter how wrong they do.
