    Duran is an absolute legend!

    M favourite park of the book was when he travelled to Nicaragua to fight thir national champion. The president me with Roberto to ask him to take it easy on their guy, Pedro Mendoza. Within a round, Duran had lost his temper and knocked Mendoza out. Mendoza's wife then jumped in the ring and attempted to attack Duran, who used his defensive skills to dodge the attact, and his right hand to lay her out with 1 shot. According to Don King's Publisist, it was a better puncher then the 1 he layed her husband out with. :rofl

    Although not about Mexican's nor the lighter weights, I got this for the Kindle about 6 months back, wasn't expecting it to be that good as it was only £0.86, but really enjoyed it

    :D There are so many good Duran stories, I like the one about the hooker with athsma & the one where he KOs a horse!

    I didnt know until I read 4 Kings but at the end of the Brawl in Montreal Duran banjoed Roger Leonard (Sugar's brother) & in No Mas after he quit he only gets his guard up again when he sees Roger climb through the ropes & make a beeline for him.

    Haven't read a boxing book I didn't enjoy. Benn and Eubanks were great also Jesus Chavez, Jon davidson, Paul briggs, de la Hoya, Holyfield, Stanley ketchel, dark trade, andy till. Just bought hides and as well. Would be up for a book club
