Any sources (except wikipedia) would be appreciated

Durans dad is American of mexican decent crazy stuff so he basically slept with durans mom and left?

Doesn't Duran hate his father.

 

[freduardo]

Wasn't his early nickname 'El Cholo?' Didn't that used to mean someone who was half-indian, half-mexican?

 

[ATTILA the HUN]

His Dad is Mexican - American.
He was a U.S. Sailer who was stationed in Panama.Roberto knows him but they do not have a relationship.
