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

[IronDanHamza]

Once upon a time, people believed Roberto Duran would never retire.

People were starting to believe this man was immortal.

Witnessing Roberto Duran you literally felt the presence of one of the greatest fighters of all time.

What a fighter.

The guy was amazing. He's one of my three favourite boxers of all time.

thanks for this great trivia question, the man is indeed a legend.

if i ever ran across roger mayweather, i'd ask him this question and if he doesn't answer correctly, i'd tell him in his face:

"YOU DON'T KNOW **** ABOUT BOXING!"

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!

No he isn't, I think there is about 3/4 other boxers that have done this or at the very least fought in 5 different decades.

that means they were fighting to age close to 60, which is terminaly dangerous, definetly something special and not really easy to do in almost any other sport...
