Yeah there are some dudes that are old enough to have fought in the 80s but didn't start career until late. Antonio Tarver is another one. Old as dirt but didn't start boxing until 1997.

So the question is how many guys have fought in 5 decades or more?

Is Duran the only one to have cracked 5?

That's all I got. For some reason I thought JMM was one, but he started in 1993. The great Jose Luis Castillo came pretty close, he started in 1990.
