The other fighter was the great Jack Johnson!!!

He also fought for 5 decades just like Duran and Mamby: 1890s, 1900s, 1910s, 1920s and 1930s...Let's see his record.

Good post but Johnson had his last fight in 1928 I belive so fought in 'only' 4 decades. 8)

Even Archie Moore fought in 'just' 4 decades... I can't think of another world champ that fought longer than Duran or Mamby.
The other day I was reading an article on Duran about how he was at the end of his career and had been great but it was all over etc.... it was from 1982! 8)

Dear old Joe Bugner just missed out. Mind you he was gas-bagging after a Bob Mirovic fight about making yet another comeback...
