  • Growing increasingly despondent as a result of the constant ridicule, quite by chance, Durán discovered that he was capable of ending the harassment by utilising his handicap - thus beginning a highly successful career bashing people on the head. Taking advantage of his newly discovered talent for rendering humans and/or animals unconscious, Durán turned to boxing. At the insistence of the WBC medical board he was nicknamed "Manos de Piedra" ("Hands of Stone") as a warning to potential opponents. During an illustrious career, Durán bludgeoned his way to four world championship-boxing titles at four different weights - lightweight (1972–79), welterweight (1980), junior middleweight (1983–84) and middleweight (1989). At the height of his career Durán was greatly feared by Sugar Ray Leonard and most everyone else, with the exception of promoter Don King (his banker), and Thomas "Hitman" Hearns (his nightmare). Durán had an astounding professional record of 2,329 fights, 2,327 wins against 2 losses. In spite of his having such a colossal competitive record it is quaint that Durán is most famous for saying, "No más!" ("No more!")
