I watched this video of Keith Thurman being interviewed, and it made me wonder -- which boxer had the picture perfect career, i.e. made a good amount of money whether he won or lost and got in and out of the sport without incurring permanent damage that would lower the quality of life after boxing?

Who had an ideal career, considering boxing is the wild, wild west of sports?
George Foreman seems to be in really good health considering he basically had two separate boxing careers because of the ten year hiatus.
And surprisingly Jake LaMotta seems to be doing good as well from what I've seen.
Vitali Klitschko, whilst he suffered some injuries to the shoulder etc but I see no sign of ill health or side effect from his lengthy fighting career.
Joe Calzaghe. His hands are wrecked but I think he came out of the sport about as handsomely as one could hope to. He's got money, health, fame, etc. People love to rag on him but Joe's the one who gets the last laugh.
