what ever happened to roberto duran

**rightsideup** · 07-24-2012, 12:07 AM

I have heard he has a cafe. There will also be a movie on his life story next year. It looks like he has lost a lot of weight. Does any one have anything else to add?

I do not think he dropped off the face of the earth. any news

Duran was scheduled to appear for induction in Tampa at last June's FBHOF weekend. Due to a medical procedure he could not fly from Panama. Otherwise he appears to be fine.

The CBZ & I are moving permanently to Panama in a few weeks. I fully intend to look up Duran, perhaps do an interview. I speak fluent Spanish so language won't be a problem. Btw: Though I'm shifting my base of operations to Panama, the CBZ will continue as always. In fact there will be no changes at all.

I'll post a formal announcement this weekend & explain everything. & Mr. Big, your welcome to come! You've always been one of my fave posters along with Ironbar. The reason? You guys have never busted my balls or complained about anything here...

LOL! I am usual the object of ball busting!

Well that's a big move -- you'll also have to check in on Ismael Laguna! I think they have a good boxing community in Panama and a few of the guys I know there say the retired boxers go to all the fight cards.

The town Im moving to, Boquete, has regular Sat night fights 2 times a month. I'll probably end up working corners like I do here. & yeah I'm gonna try & find Laguna. also.

Ismael is forgotten today but if there hadn't been a Duran he would be known as the greatest fighter from Panama.
