P4P greatest boxer ever who was well off, and lead a long, healthy life after the sport?

Ray Leonard is the greatest fighter alive now barring Duran and still living lavishly. Duran also has a pretty good life too and still enjoys considerable fame in his home country of Panama.

Chavez Sr is another great enjoying life, doing a lot of commentating work.

 

Rocky Marciano followed by Frank Bruno....easy question

 

Gene Tunney, Max Schmeling, Jimmy McLarnin, Archie Moore, Carmen Basilio, Bob Foster, George Foreman, SRL and Jeff French come straight to mind.

Cheers.

 

Schmeling live to be 99, and was a millionaire due to being a Coca-Cola representative.

Dempsey made it to 87 and was pretty well off.

 

Stanley Ketchel was shot to death by the husband of the woman making his breakfast.

Of course Liston died young and broke.

Marciano and the plain crash.

Vingo was an odd blend of the two extremes. He was the longest living Marciano opponent, but never could find much of a career due to his disabilities.

Max Baer the opposite: starred in movies and did all right financially, but died of a heart attack at 53 or so.

 

Eder Jofre is a good story. Born in a gym literally into a family of athletes, boxers, wrestlers, etc. His family lived in the back of his father's gym and began boxing since he was a toddler. Lead a healthy vegetarian life. Still very active and alive today at 82, successful in business owning several supermarkets. Released calisthenics videos as well very late in life...

 

Dempsey didn't die at 87. He merely abandoned his Jack Dempsey identity, and lived the remainder of his life being Max Schmeling full-time.

 

Nino Benvenuti

 

Tony DeMarco is alive & well, still putzes around my neighborhood signing autographs trailed by quite a sizable entourage.

 

IN addition to those mentioned already, Larry Holmes seems to be doing pretty well.

 

this is depressing. How sad for them all.

 

Chavez looks great. Marciano looked good in the interviews I saw. Larry Holmes really was out of line in 1985. Marciano had died and Larry said that in front of Rocky's brother.

 

After the Wall Street Crash ,Dempsey was never rich again.

Neither Lamotta or Jeffries were," well off".
