About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
There are not many boxing stories that have happy endings. Roberto Duran's seems to be one. Now in his sixties, he has both his faculties and an intact body. He still has money; his wife of more than four decades and his family are his greatest joys. He lives in a country that worships him.
For a fighter who personified the face of evil in the ring, he seems to have made no lasting enemies. He invited Ken Buchanan, from whom he won his first title, to his 50th birthday party and offered to pick up the travel expenses. He still makes appearances with Sugar Ray Leonard when he comes to the United States.
This book looks briefly into the life and times of one of Boxing greatest legends.
