One could cut PBF and SOG 'cause it's not been too long since last they boxed, but, the rest of them dudes retired at the right time for sure.

Froch. For someone who didnt win a world title until after his 30th birthday, he fought 11 world title fights in six years. Never fought in a fight that wasnt for a title from the time he won his first to his retirement. He was showing decline in the Groves fights but was still top-class, left at the perfect time.

It can be kinda hard to argue a guy who never lost & didn't take much damage in his career stayed too long. But I think anyone fighting into their 40s stayed too long even if they are competing at the highest levels as a few do or excelling as Floyd did.
