When Duran challenged Leonard on June 1980, someone asked Joe Frazier, the former world heavyweight champion, "Who does Duran remind you of?" Fraser replied without hesitation, "He reminds me of the notorious serial killer Charles Manson."

As a four-level world champion, Duran is regarded as one of the most "prickly" boxers ever, and his success is attributed to the guidance and help of legendary coach Ray accel.

Duran once described himself in an autobiographical film: "Before mike tyson appeared, I was mike tyson. Boxers would pee their pants when they looked at me, and Leonard was no exception. Americans began to realize that they had never met a boxing killer like me, with black eyes and black hair. They called me the' dark destroyer' and thought I was a demon. "

Tai Sen continued: "Duran is not ashamed of his identity, so I regard him as an idol. With the development of my career, people call me a barbarian. I know that being regarded as a boxer is a high praise. I am as brave and fearless as Duran. "

As a result, he and Leonard fought in World War II.
