My quick translation of some tongue-in-cheek Duran Internet fare.

http://www.dealante.com/nodo.php?nodoid=20081

Q: Julio César Chávez or you. Who is better?
DURAN: Id break him with my left alone. The only one I cant hang with is my mom. She gets to whipping me and Im off and running.

Q: Sugar Ray Leonard is
DURAN: Hes got technique but on the inside hes a tame chicken. He doesnt open up in danger.

Q: And Oscar De la Hoya?
A shooting star. Made moolah and let it all hang out. Thinks hes a pretty boy.

Q: And Don King?
DURAN: Between Bob Arum and him, Ill take him. Bob Arum speaks softly but wont give you a dime. Don King curses your mother, but you walk away with moolah.

Q: Is it true that at the fight with Tommy Hearns, you kept asking how the fight was going in the dressing room?
DURAN: A tale! He shook me up

Q: What was behind the No más, with Sugar Ray?
DURAN: I was sick, truly. I had liver cramps; couldnt breathe.

Q: Are you loved more in Panama or abroad?
DURAN: Abroad. If I moved to the United States, Id be a millionaire in three months. Over there they wanna open up restaurants, bars and gyms with me. Here they talk and do nothing.

Q: Ches and Muhammad Alis movies are out. How about yours?
DURAN: But thats all rubbish. Mine is coming soon.

Q: Who would you want to strike now?
DURAN: Mayweather. They make him out a god and hes nobody. But Im 58; eight broken ribs, punctured lung, broken nose

Q: Are you no longer of stone?
DURAN: I will cease to be of stone when I die.

Q: The best Panamanian boxers today.
DURAN: Chemito [Moreno] and Pelenchín [Caballero]. But like Roberto Duran therell never be another. Take it to the bank. Todays fighters look made of diapers, bubble gum. They win two little fights and theyre brainwashed into thinking theyre gonna be champions and they start clubbing and having girlfriends. I started drinking after I became champion.

Q: How many times did you enter the ring drunk?
Just once. For a female. She challenged me: said if I fought drunk shed leave with me. And so it was.

Q: How much do you charge for a boxing lesson?
Cheap. $20 an hour. People think Im crazy but, believe it or not, when I get serious it aint no jokin.

I read somewhere that Barrera said that Sanchez was the greatest Mexican fighter ever and better than Cesar Chavez

He used to like Chavez until Chavez took Morales side before their 2nd fight + Sanchez is a city boy.

Its completely unrealistic to have Sanchez over Chavez as far as greatness goes, you could argue he had greater ability but thats mighty debateable as well.
