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

[Sifo]

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.

that still a long time man

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.
