    Trivia: RJJ joins which boxers on this list?

    Last night Roy Jones Jr. made a return to the ring, when he dropped a mojority decision in an 8-rounder against debutant Anthony Pettis. At 54, and almost 20 years past prime, Roy of course has no business fighting anymore - but with this fight, he became the latest addition to the list of boxers, who have been active in 5 different decades!

    Can you guys name the other boxers on this list?

    "Active"

    Exhibitions and/or competitive bouts?

    What was Mayweather-Paul to you?

    As always great question.

        Willie Pep and SRR have four each (if you count 1940 as part of the 1930s decade.) Otherwise only three.

        Both debuted in 1940, I didn't know that.

          We only count real fights. Mayweather-Paul was an exhibition... as was RJJ-Tyson

              Active 1968-2001... so yes, he's absolutely a 5-decade man.

                  Ward's career stretced from 1977 to 2015 - but since he completely missed the 1990s and the 2000s, he was only active in 3 decades.
