Roberto "Manos de Piedra" Duran was fierce in the ring, his poor upbringing on the streets of Panama all contributed to the man he became. He's extremely tough but his wild streak stops him from becoming the champion he ought to be.
Enter Ray Arcel, Arcel was an old pro, the best of the best and had taken many boxers into the ring and seen them come out the champion. Arcel could clearly see that Duran had a gift and though technically the trainer was retired, Duran's talent made him take his place back at the side of the ring.
The trainer makes Arcel a success in his weight division and soon bigger and tougher opponents start to appear. The biggest name Durran could take on was Sugar Ray Leonard and he also wanted to get a piece of the action for himself. The pair go head to head and Duran is victorious but as fame starts to get the better of him, Arcel must do what he can to make sure the fighter stays at the top.
