=== Music ===
The song "The Eyes of Roberto Durán" by [[Tom Russell]], from the album ''The Long Way Around'', contains the lyric, "Panama City – it's three in the morning; they're talking 'bout the Hands of Stone."

Durán is mentioned in the third verse of [[Nas]]' original demo for ''It Ain't Hard to Tell'' in the line: "Metaphors of murder man, hittin' like Roberto Durán, hold the mic in my hand, my lifespan."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ohhla.com/anonymous/nas/rm_bside/tell_rmx.nas.txt|title=The Original Hip-Hop (Rap) Lyrics Archive|work=Ohhla.com|access-date=November 22, 2015}}</ref>

The musician [[Jackie Leven]] recorded a song ("Museum of Childhood") that explores the events of the second world title fight between Durán and Sugar Ray Leonard.

Jazz musician Miles Davis, an avid boxing fan, recorded a tribute to Roberto Durán titled "Duran".

Durán is also mentioned in the third verse of [[Paul Thorn]]'s "Hammer and Nail," based on Thorn's nationally televised fight with Durán:
{{blockquote|<poem>I climbed in the ring with Roberto Durán and the punches began to rain down
He hit me with a dozen hard uppercuts and my corner threw in the towel
I asked him why he had to knock me out and he summed it up real well
He said, 'I'd rather be a hammer than a nail'</poem>}}

Texas rockabilly band [[Reverend Horton Heat]] mentions Durán in their song "Eat Steak," off of their album ''Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em''.

Durán is mentioned in the salsa song "Pa'l Bailador" by Colombian singer [[Joe Arroyo]] in 1989, "A Roberto Duran, Aya en Panama, Mano de Piedra!" (To Roberto Duran, in Panama, Hands of Stones!)

Durán is referenced multiple times in the song "Uno Mas" by [[Alex Soria]]'s band Chino.

Durán's 1983 fight with Davey Moore is referenced in the 2014 single, "The Possum," by American songwriter, [[Sun Kil Moon]] (i.e. [[Mark Kozelek]]), who often writes about boxers. Kozelek sings:
"They threw hard vicious guttural B-flats that shook their opponent /
Like a tough Roberto "Hands of Stone" Durán, in the seventh round /
Davey Moore, June 16, 1983..."

{{blockquote|<poem>Now time's the undefeated
The heavyweight champ
Laughing in his face
As it dances like Sugar Ray
Used to be, "C'mon, c'mon"
But now, "No mas, no mas"</poem>}}
