Born in Guararé, Panamá to a Mexican father and a Panamanian mother, he had his first professional fight in 1967. Guararé is a Town in the Los Santos Province of Panama.

[1] After an initial adjustment he won thirty in a row, culminating in his first title bout in June 1972, where he controversially defeated Ken Buchanan at New York's Madison Square Garden for the WBA world lightweight championship.

The World Boxing Association (WBA is a Boxing organization that sanctions official matches and awards the WBA world championship title at the professional level Duran knocked down Buchanan in the first round and dominated him throughout the fight, until Duran floored him with an unpunished low-blow with the final punch of the match. [2] Duran followed up on his title winning performance with several non-title matches. Later that year, in another non-title bout, he lost a ten round decision to Esteban De Jesus. Esteban De Jesus ( August 2, 1951 - May 11, 1989) was a Puerto Rican world lightweight champion boxer whose life was full Duran got back on track with successful title defenses against Jimmy Robertson, Hector Thompson, and former lightweight champion Guts Ishimatsu.

Year 1974 ( MCMLXXIV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar of the 1974 Gregorian calendar. Overall Durán made twelve successful defenses of his title (eleven coming by knock out), his last defense coming in 1978 where Durán fought a third fight with De Jesus, a unification match where Durán once again knocked out De Jesus and captured his WBC lightweight belt. Year 1978 ( MCMLXXVIII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays the 1978 Gregorian calendar) The World Boxing Council was initially created by 11 countries the United States, Argentina, United Kingdom, France, Mexico, Durán would give up the unified lightweight title in February 1979.
Vacating the lightweight title was a build up for an attempt at the welterweight title. Welterweight is a Weight class division in combat sports Originally the term "welterweight" was used only in Boxing, but other combat sports like Kickboxing Duran earned a pair of wins against former WBC welterweight champion Carlos Palomino and Zeferino Gonzales, setting the stage for a title bout against then undefeated WBC Welterweight Champion Sugar Ray Leonard. Carlos Palomino (born August 10, 1949) is a Mexican former boxer who was a world champion and also a college degree holder This is a chronological List of World Welterweight Boxing Champions, as recognized by four of the better-known sanctioning organizations The World Boxing Association Ray Charles Leonard (born May 17, 1956) is a retired American professional boxer. The venue chosen would be the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, the same location where Leonard won an Olympic gold medal during the 1976 Summer Olympics. The Olympic Stadium is the name usually given to the big centrepiece Stadium of the Summer Olympic Games. Montreal, or Montréal in French ( pronounced in French, in English) is the largest city in the Canadian province of Quebec The 1976 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXI Olympiad, were an International Multi-sport event held in Montreal, Quebec Duran resented the fact that he was getting only one-fifth the money Leonard would make despite the fact that he was entering the bout with a 73-1 record. He would curse and insult Leonard during press conferences in an attempt to intimidate the young champion. On June 20, 1980, Duran captured the WBC welterweight title by defeating Leonard via a 15-round unanimous decision. Events 451 - Battle of Chalons: Flavius Aetius ' defeats Attila the Hun. Year 1980 ( MCMLXXX) was a Leap year starting on Tuesday (link displays the 1980 Gregorian calendar) The fight would become known as "The Brawl in Montreal". [3] In the November re-match, however, Durán shockingly quit. Leonard-Duran II was the second of three boxing matches between Sugar Ray Leonard and Roberto Duran and took place in the Louisiana Superdome Leonard has said that his strategy was to use speed and agility to taunt and frustrate Durán, believing it was his best chance of winning the fight. [4] In round 8, Durán turned around, walked to his corner and gave up, supposedly saying the now famous words, "no más" (no more). However he claims to have actually said, "No quiero pelear con el payaso. " (Meaning "I do not want to fight with this clown. ") Referee Octavio Meyran, perhaps as incredulous as was the rest of the world at what he was seeing, asked Durán if he was sure, and Durán then said, "No más, no más" (no more, no more). Octavio Meyran Sanchez is a former Mexican Boxing referee. During his career Meyran took charge of over twenty world title fights In violation of what any professional fighter does on the day of a fight, Durán gorged himself after the weigh-in, claimed he quit because he was having stomach cramps. [3] The controversy regarding this bout continues to this day.
He took some time to recover from that fight, gaining even more weight to contend for the WBC world junior middleweight title, but losing in his first attempt at a championship in that division on the January 30 of 1982, against Wilfredo Benitez by a 15 round unanimous decision.

Duran was also to lose his come back fight in December 1982 in Detroit. Kirkland Laing, from London, shocked the boxing world, producing the type of display his talents promised yet he so rarely produced, taking the split decision. Kirkland Laing (born 20 June 1954 in Jamaica) is a retired British Welterweight boxer nicknamed The Gifted One After being relegated to a 10 round walk out win over Englishman Jimmy Batten at The Battle of The Champions in Miami, Durán signed with promoter Bob Arum.

The WBA title bout took place at Madison Square Garden on June 16, 1983, which also happened to be Duran's 32nd birthday. Madison Square Garden, often abbreviated as MSG, and known colloquially as The Garden, has been the name of four Arenas in New York City. Events 1487 - Battle of Stoke Field, the last dying breath of the Wars of the Roses. Year 1983 ( MCMLXXXIII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays the 1983 Gregorian calendar) The result turned out to be a one sided affair as Duran dominated Moore throughout the bout. The pro-Duran crowd at ringside cheered as Duran relentlessly punished Moore. By the end of the sixth round, Moore's eye had swollen shut and he was floored near the end of the seventh. Finally the fight was stopped in the eighth round as Moore was taking such a horrific beating and Duran won his third world title. After the victory, Duran was hoisted up in the air as the crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to a sobbing Duran. [5]
Durán later fought for the World middleweight title, meeting Marvin Hagler in Las Vegas in November 1983, but losing in a competitive fight that went the full fifteen rounds. Middleweight is a division or weight class, in Boxing. Early boxing history is less than exact but the middleweight designation seems to have begun in the 1840s Marvelous Marvin Hagler (born Marvin Nathaniel Hagler, in Newark, New Jersey, May 23, 1954) is a former American Year 1983 ( MCMLXXXIII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays the 1983 Gregorian calendar) Despite the loss, Duran was the first fighter to go the full distance with the great middleweight champion in one of his defenses. In June 1984, Duran was stripped of his junior middleweight title when the WBA did not approve of his fight with WBC world champion Thomas "Hitman" Hearns, and took away recognition of Duran as world champion the moment Duran stepped into the ring to box Hearns. Thomas Hearns (born October 18, 1958, in Memphis, raised in Detroit) is an American 8-time world champion professional Durán lost the fight after a vicious second round knock-out by Hearns.
Durán did not contend another title fight until 1989, but made the shot count when he won the WBC middleweight title from Iran Barkley in February, a fight in which Duran used Don Longanecker as a training partner. Year 1989 ( MCMLXXXIX) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays 1989 Gregorian calendar) Iran Barkley (born May 6, 1960 in Bronx New York) was an American boxer. The fight is considered one of Duran's greatest achievements, as the 38 year old former lightweight champion took the middleweight crown, his fourth title. In a tough, back and forth fight, Durán knocked Barkley down in the eleventh round and won a close decision. The bout was named the 1989 "Fight of the Year" by Ring Magazine. The Ring (often called Ring Magazine) is an American Boxing Magazine that was first published in 1922 as a boxing His reign was short lived once again as Duran moved up to super middleweight for a third clash with Sugar Ray Leonard in December (a fight dubbed Uno Más--One More--by promoters), but lost in a decision. Ray Charles Leonard (born May 17, 1956) is a retired American professional boxer. Duran seemed to be in decline after the fight, he attempted to win further middleweight titles in 1994, 1995 and 1996 (fighting for the minor IBC belt).

Duran then announced his retirement in August 1998, but was back fighting in 1999. In June 2000 he won a minor super middleweight title from Pat Lawlor but quickly lost it to Héctor Camacho.
