{{main|Roberto Durán vs. Sugar Ray Leonard II}}

After defeating Leonard in Montreal, Durán gained iconic status in his home country, Panama. Leonard initiated the rematch clause and asked for the fight to be the following November. In their second fight, Leonard successfully changed his tactics, using more footwork and movement than he had in their first fight, and Durán was unable to get Leonard against the ropes. During the seventh round, after Leonard had gained a slight lead on the scorecards, he began taunting and mocking Durán. Towards the end of the eighth round, Durán suddenly stopped fighting, and according to referee [[Octavio Meyran]] and ABC commentator [[Howard Cosell]], Durán repeatedly said "No más" ("no more"), which was denied by Durán, his cornermen [[Ray Arcel]] and Freddie Brown, and his manager Carlos Eleta, with Durán claiming he had said "No quiero pelear con el payaso" ("I do not want to fight with this clown [Leonard]"). According to Meyran, in addition to saying "No más", Durán also said in broken English "I don't box anymore".<ref>{{cite news|last=Pepe|first=Phil|title=Roberto Duran quits in 8th, says 'No mas' in 1980 fight vs. Sugar Ray Leonard|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more-sports/duran-quits-8th-finished-article-1.1994724|newspaper=[[Daily News (New York)|Daily News]]|publisher=New York|date=November 26, 1980|access-date=August 22, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Snowden|first=Jonathan|title=The Men and the Myths: Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran and 'No Mas,' 35 Years Later|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2592855-the-men-and-the-myths-ray-leonard-roberto-duran-and-no-mas-35-years-later|website=[[Bleacher Report]]|date=November 25, 2015|access-date=August 22, 2016}}</ref> In a 2016 interview, Durán claimed that what he actually said was, "No sigo" ("I won't go on").
