Roberto Duran Inducted into World Boxing Hall of Fame

Roberto Duran was inducted into World Boxing Hall of Fame on Saturday night, honoring a storied career in which Duran compiled a 103-16 record with 69 knockouts and five world titles.

Other notable inductees included Matthew Saad Muhammad, Julian Jackson, Eddie Perkins, and Barry Tompkins among others.

What was Duran’s favorite career moment?

Duran said his earliest fights in Panama, “a lot of fights you don’t know about,” were his toughest because he was an inexperienced teenage fighter going up against older, veteran fighters Duran feels could have become world champions and were “tougher fighters than when I fought Leonard.”
