ROBERTO "MANOS DE PIEDRA" DURAN 

Description : Here we have a fantastic Roberto Duran signed pair of bespoke boxing trunks incorporating the Panamanian Flag out of respect to Roberto's homeland. Roberto Duran is widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters of all time, a true boxing legend! He was the first fighter to hold the sobriquet of DURAN the 'GREAT'. In 2002, he was chosen by The Ring to be the 5th greatest fighter of the last 80 years. Bert Sugar rates him as the 8th greatest fighter of all-time and the Associated Press voted Duran as the #1 lightweight of the 20th century. Many even consider him the greatest lightweight of all time. He held world titles at four different weights, lightweight (1972-79), welterweight (1980), light middleweight (1983-84) and middleweight (1989). He was the second boxer to have fought a span of five decades, the first being Jack Johnson. He unleashed a reign of terror onto the lightweight division in 1972 at the tender age of just 21 & it lasted the best part of a decade. Panama Animal! Duranimal! Hands of Stone! These were all handles given to Duran, the most feared fighter on the planet & fighter of the decade (70's) accolade. When Mike Tyson was asked who his favorite fighter was, he replied, DURAN! That's one man I would not like to meet in a dark alley! Roberto finally retired in January 2002 at age 50 following a bad car crash in Argentina in October 2001, with a professional record of 120 fights, 104 wins with 69 KOs, Roberto Duran truly is DURAN the GREAT.....

These beautiful bespoke signed boxing trunks also have an JSA authentication cert as being signed in the presence of one of their company agents juxtaposed with a LOA lifetime & beyond guarantee of authenticity from ourselves here at KOfightposters. A fantastic addition for any collection & discerning boxing memorabilia collector.
