    How great is Duran to be the only boxer ever to win fights in 5 different decades?

    This is something I did not know and it blew my mind when I read it!

    Duran is the only man in boxing history to win fights in 5 separate decades. He registered wins in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and the 2000s.

    Wow!

    Now that's just frickin amazing!

      Arguably top 10 ATG, arguably the GOAT at LW. Beast, awesome fighter, underrated IQ and counter punching ability.

              The man is a legend.

              Not trying to downplay it but when that is read it kinda makes it sound like he fought for 5 decades. 50 years. Not true. He had his pro-debut in 1968 and last fight on 2001 so thats 33 years.

                in his prime he was close to the perfect fighter. skills, power everything.

                and with his resume he is one of the 1o greatest
