its staggering to me how wise Tyson can be. The man has absolute exquisite and deep quotes which because of their simplicity are even more memorable.

I fucking love Tyson's quotes... He always comes through with this wisdom... its awesome

Tyson has been proven to be a very profound thinker....

Leonard said what happened. He heard that Duran ballooned up to near 200 lbs and his promoter pushed for a rematch as soon as possible. Duran lost a lot of weight in a short period of time. Leonard did not want to fight the best Duran, he wanted to fight a handicapped Duran.

Duran is considered by many to be the greatest lightweight of all time and is one of the four kings alongside Leonard, Hearns, and Hagler. Nobody can ever take away the glory he won.

Boxing will NEVER be like that again!! Those Guys are 'ALL TRUE WARRIORS' in their Own way!! A Satisfying walk down Boxing's Memory Lane!!!! THX MUCH!! Dale - Raleigh,NC

I agree with the positive sentiments shared by others regarding what Mike Tyson said. I've been around over half a century and in that time I have never heard anyone speak to the word "surrender" in such a eloquent and honorable way. Thank you Mike Tyson for the memories in the ring and lately your deeply sincere and humane renderings outside of it. I have use the word "surrender" in the same spirit it was rendered in this documentary as almost a daily practice of humanity to myself and others.

Mike Tyson is always dropping some deep quotes.

Duran is probably the greatest "living" boxer of all time ?

I’m a Leonard fan, pleas don’t get that twisted, but along with the taunts he gave Durán came running. Duran was a bull who just wanted to fight and a fight is not what he was getting

The real story of why he quit is because he had gain weight (he was at about 200 pounds ) and had been drinking heavily but all of a sudden they called him and told him he was going to fight in one month so he had to prepare in 1 month and had to cut weight and in the weigh in he started feeling stomach pain but ignored it until he couldnt take it anymore and quit

Duran was a LEGEND!

Roberto should have never quit but the genesis of why he did lays with his promoter for agreeing to rematch only four months later. Everyone knew that Roberto liked to party, eat - a lot, and between fights he'd put on thirty to forty pounds. If he had another two months to prepare than he would have never quit, he still may have lost but he would not have quit. Ray Leonard fought a brilliant fight in the rematch and between his antics (bolo punches etc.) his exceptional boxing, and his refusal to enter into a firefight with Duran, Roberto became frustrated and quit.

Just the fact that sugar ray waited for Roberto to be out of shape tell you how much respect and fear they had for Duran

Duran was rushed into the second fight. He got screwed, and he knew it. He was enjoying the victory, blew up to over 200 lbs., and expected a few money fights and appearances, like most champs do, in between the rematch. It didn’t’t work out that way. The same anger and fury that made him great worked against him in the second fight. It was a big F’ you to all who rushed him in, and to Leonard too, who did nothing in that fight by the way, but run around and act like a clown. Not a good look for a fighter of Leonard’s caliber also. His career proved there is no quit in Duran. Duran is the best fighter pound for pound of his generation, the best I saw in person, and ranks with the greats throughout history.

Either way Duran beat his ass the first time n proved everything he ever needed to prove. Moved up a whole weight class to beat one of the best ever and already had 70 fights under his belt

Roberto simply one of the greatest there were many but one of my idols, along wuth sanchez. And the list is long......we all have our hero and idols no one is wrong.

Mike Tyson must be highly respectable to other boxers. He must remember the match with James Buster Douglas and very important that his wife took over to promote his professional career and quarreled with his past team and put a dividing wall between them and Iron Mike Tyson. In this fight he was living on his past reputation and was living on his past glory. Totally under prepared and lost. I still respect him as one of the best KO artists in the Heavyweight Division.

Leyend Duran. Top1.

I grew up watching Duran, and I believe that Leonard had his number in the second fight, and Leonard was out boxing him...Like running, and Duran just said " Forget it". Duran was a brawler and liked to get in close and maul you. Great time growing up with these fighters in the day.

My dad really enjoys a great fight now and then but if he sees a boxer start acting like a Clown he gets up quietly and leaves, simple as that no questions asked

*ROBERTO DURAN IS THE BEST AND GREATEST LATIN AMERICAN BOXER IN THE ENTIRE BOXING HISTORY.*

Sugar Ray was on his bicycle the whole time. But Duran, clearly the best lightweight of all time. Four crowns this legend earned. Lightweight, welterweight, junior middleweight, middleweight.

I agree with most all of you. Mike Tyson is becoming an extraordinary man. It is very impressive. His attitude, intelligence, humbleness, forgiving nature, his gratitude and also his being very realistic is so very refreshing. And if I may be fully honest,- it is surprising. I am extremely happy that he is going this way and at this point onward with his life. Family oriented is another plus. He knows he'll no longer be rich like that ever again and his sweet and good nature is truly showing and appears to be very real/honest and I am , again, super pleased that he can spend the remainder of his days like this. God HAS blessed this man. I mean REALLY!!!.... What an unusual story his life is. From the very start. Everything about him and his life is remarkable. CHEERS! - To all of his fans!!!!

Durán el mejor

Honor is not meant to be won only meant to be lost and sometimes we believe we lose our honor by surrendering but we receive honor by surrendering , does it make you think>

Mike is so smart

Peoples always seem to forget or choose to ignore the fact .. that Duran was the first fighter to ever beat leanard , in style by the way . Jus saying

Who would ever have thought 30 years ago that Mike Tyson, of all people, would become boxing's poet laureate? Honestly, the guy is more intelligent that most of us combined!

I think its very easy to understand why Roberto Duran stopped fighting. He was partying and eating after the first Duran Leonard fight and had to cut too much weight in a short amount of time. Then he ate way to much after the weigh-in the day of the fight, causing him to get sick during the fight. Really look at the fight, it was close or even and Sugar ray did not "have his number" like people said. Duran was an all-time great like Leonard, and had a win on him. Leonard had no power to knock out Duran even though Duran was a true lightweight in his prime. Leonard was great too, but won most of his fights by tapping and running, but since he was a big ticket seller he got the decisions.

Because SRL was doing more showboatin' than fightin'. Well Fuck that!

Duran quit the fight because he got tired of chasing the runner 🏃‍♀️... Duran only knows one style of fighting and that's face to face.

Duran was HIS own worst enemy, if HE ate and partied, LIKE they say HE did !!! Athletes should REMAIN in shape in and out of the ring !! 6.1.2020

Did u listen to this before u put it out playa

Duran was the best boxer ever in this earth period if all those Guys was fighting Duran in the early 70's Duran will eat all those Guys in breakfasts period no question ask

Why is it so low?

First fight best ever a man Naturally 2 to 3 weight above had to run against that out of shape fat man in the second shows how great of fighter Duran was Leonard was protected throughout his career

Tyson : "We receive honor in surrendering" Holyfield: *I got not ears*

At victors in NYC

Leonard was the Floyd in the 80's. They don't fight if they don't have some type of advantage.

many boxing fans feel the leonard 2 fight was fixed as duran was beating leonard handily in first fight ,

Which documentary is this from?

Duran used to eat a massive half raw steak just before every fight. Then to fight Leonard who made Duran do a routine like Rocky Balboa chasing a chicken suddenly was in danger of crapping his pants. No way the epitome of macho was going to crap his pants in front of an international audience, so he quit. If the Boxing Commission had given him a bathroom break, he would have come back out and won the fight.

This was one of the greatest rivalries in the history of boxing. If you want to make excuses for either man going into the first two fights you could do, easily. You could argue Leonard's ego lost him the first fight, that Duran got under his skin so he tried to beat him at his own game and fight flat footed, in the pocket and he lost because of it. You could argue that Duran was out of shape going into the rematch, that he partied too hard after the first, that the weight cut killed him, etc. At the end of the day they both fought and they both lost. Simple as. They settled the score in the trilogy fight and Leonard proved to be the better boxer. He had that sweet science down to a T.

It amazes me, what lenghs trainers & boxers will do to win a fight, ie make rematch with duran less than 4 months after epic fight, knowing full well Roberto will put on 2/3 stone & have to loose it in 3 weeks Roberto's manager & trainer were at fault I also believe they were in the plan, but it wasn't supposed to end like this, they believed he would get Ko'd or loose on points, I believe Roberto tumbled this & walked away knowing the deck was staked against him

At least Duran gave Leonard a rematch, more than be said for Leonard with Hagler

So why he quit the fight?

Simple explanation for Duran quitting...Mike Trainer ( Leonard's Lawyer Advisor)...had immediate rematch clause within 3 - 4 months...Why?...They knew Duran would party, eat, gain weight and not have enough time to get back in shape...Duran was not in shape and knew he was going to get humiliated...so he quit...The only other possible explanation is a fix...but based on what I have read...he simply was not in shape...

Tyson in the video is the only one that actually boxed and didn’t disgrace Duran, I’ll take his word over the stupid promoters any day

The fight was fixed !! Told personally by Roberto himself...

Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran, the best latin american boxer ever.

Leonard is on tape saying that they knew that duran ballooned up in between fights and wanted to get him then. No one can honestly believe that the Duran in 2nd fight was the best version of himself because that's just not true. The real Duran was the one Leonard lost too in a great close first fight. I know people like to hate but let's not forget Duran had no business mixing it up with the 3 other kings. Past his best prime weight, older and smaller but still hanging with them. Unbelievable fighter

No one gives a fuck let Leonard have the win duran beat a prime unbeaten Leonard that’s more amazing than when he said fuck it and walked off.. he then did way more to get the respect back went all the way to MW and aldo beat Iran berkly and devy Moore.. had 100+ W in pro fights went toe to toe with every great Wilfred Hagler hearns Leonard .. he had no business being in the ring with Hagler and hearns or berkly and Moore he started as a LW .. legendary stuff

so... no comments?

DURAN THE ONLY KING

Everybody's entitled to a bad day.. if I wasn't 100% I wouldn't let a guy pound on my head either.. specialy sugar ray Leonard..

It wasn’t Duran who quit, it was Leonard, Leonard refused to fight and wanted to dance instead, Duran ain’t got time for dancing he wants to fight.

Regardless of what happened in this fight duran had close to 120 fights and 1 bad moment shouldn't define his career,leonard admitted it himself they set duran up knowing his lifestyle and that he blew up to 190lbs,cutting that kind of weight so fast deffinetly hurt duran.Leonard himself continued to torture duran about "no mas"for decades and to me shows a lack of class.On the all time list I'd rate duran over Leonard considering he was the greatest lightweight of all time and won titles up to middleweight

I really think that Duran took the second fight under to much pressure he was not ready and to loose to much weight but pressure was to big the money the pelple around but he forgot that in the ring is just you he got frustration cause he knew he could of done better but he could not cause he did preper the way he did like in the first fight he stop you got to remember that is a lot of people involve in that sport butvery few really care about

It’s simple $

Roberto quit the fight cos he couldant chase Ray, he was overfed & undertrained, his manager was in the fix

Volumen

I heard he was on the verge of shiting himself that’s why he quit

Glorify a quitter LOL. I dont think I've seen a fighter quit since #NO MAS

Leonard was scared of Duran! he ran around the ring like the cowered he was! he always did that when he was inferior to an opponent. he didn't want another one on one with Duran, they didn't call him the hands of stone for nothing!

Didn't they say it was because he got cramps because he needed to take a shit?

Roberto wanted to fight and not dance.

He was full. Thats why he said no mas

Duran se vendio ja ja ja

Leonard isn't shy about why he won the rematch, he readily admits the quick rematch because he knew Duran was grossly out of shape.

Roberto Duran was a winner of his 2nd fight with Sugar Ray. Oh, he didn't win the fight...but how much money did he get?

Duran ha sido doblemente cobarde, primero x nunca haber aceptado que se rindió, y segundo x k jamas ha aceptado que su rival era superior, por ese simple hecho jamas he respetado a duran.... i never had respect for duran ... why?... first of all he never acepted that he failed an surrendering, next because he never has reconogized leonard superiority.... my humble opinion... he is a coward

Duran was good but not great......sorry!
