Roberto Duran (born June 16, 1951) is a professional boxer from Guarare, Panama, and is generally regarded as one of the greatest lightweight boxers of all-time.

In 2002, he was chosen by The Ring Magazine to be the 5th greatest fighter of the last 80 years.[1] He held world titles at four different weights - lightweight (1972-79), welterweight (1980), junior middleweight (1983-84) and middleweight (1989). He was also the only boxer to have fought in five different decades.

He finally retired in January 2002 at age 50 (having previously retired in 1998) following a bad car crash in October 2001, with a professional record of 120 fights, 104 wins with 69 KOs. He was nicknamed Manos de Piedra (Hands of Stone). Up until the second Ray Leonard fight, he was trained by legendary boxing trainer Ray Arcel.
