Roberto Durán (life debut June 16, 1951) is a four-time world champion pugilist and national Panamanian hero. Within days of his birth, Durán's mother noticed that he had been born with rocks in place of hands. Specialists at the American University Hospital diagnosed Pedolithia (from the Latin "Stone Foot"), a condition which usually affects the feet. But in Duran's case his hands were glove-like organic stones. Sadly they could prescribe no cure and Durán was left to cope with his crippling disability.
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 WBA 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!"

Shit caught my eye, just thought I'd share it.
Nicca "bitch ass" and Duran don't even go together in the same sentence. It's the only big fight Hearns ever won btw.
and having a pretty close fight with Sergio Martinez, and later defeating Julio Ceasar Chavez Jr in a foty candidate and putting him on his back at one point
