Roberto Durán frasi celebri

“Io non ho mai schivato nulla. E sempre dando tutto. Ho affrontato tutti i più forti: da Hagler a Hearns, da Benitez a Barkley. Bisogna averla la voglia di ululare. Appena suonava il gong mi veniva la bava. Anche se ho fatto una parte come sparring partner in Rocky II e ho conosciuto De Niro quando girava Toro Scatenato, la boxe è sangue, non è quella dei film. Ogni tanto bisogna anche ricordarselo.”

“I am not an animal in my personal life. But in the ring there is an animal inside me. Sometimes it roars when the first bell rights. Sometimes it springs out later in a fight. But i can always feel it there, driving me and pushing me forward. It is what makes me win. It makes me enjoy fighting.”

About Durán

“Duran knew how to fight. He knew what to do. If he looked at the corner the only thing I ever had to do was pretend to jab, once he was using his jab I knew he’d have no trouble. Even more important he knew how to think. When you talk about great fighters, always remember there was a guy named Roberto Duran. He was never given the opportunity to really display his wares because at his peak, he was overshadowed by Muhammad Ali.”

About Durán

“He’s good inside, very good, strong physically. The one thing that surprised me the most was his quickness. And his defensive ability. He moves his head a lot, feints a lot. He’s not an easy man to hit.”

Carlos Palomino, 16 June 1980, after his defeat by Duran http://coxscorner.tripod.com/duran.html
About Durán

“Moving fluidly and jabbing, slipping punches and countering rather than swarming over DeJesus, he stalked him, relentlessly wearing him down and coolly destroying him with savage punches to the body. For 11 rounds Duran bested the classic boxer at his own game, robbing him of his speed and his will to fight, and only then did he permit himself the luxury of putting DeJesus away.”

Sports Illustrated, 30 January 1978 http://coxscorner.tripod.com/duran.html
About Durán

“One gets the impression of Duran is that he’s a tough, rough brawler who just wades in and ducks nothing. But all you have to do is look at his face to see that is nonsense. He’s not marked up. He does a lot of cute things in there.”
