    Great list.

    I would have Pacquiao on the list. First and only 8-division champ. Polarizing figure known around the world. His impressive charitable contributions and career as a Senator make him one of the most unique standouts in modern boxing.

    Lomachenko is on his way. 396-1 as amateur and gold medal winner in two weight classes.

    Lomachenko holds several all-time records for winning major world championships in the fewest number of professional fights: he won a world title in his third fight (tied with Saensak Muangsurin), became a two-weight champion in his seventh fight, and a three-weight champion in his twelfth fight

        He won two gold medals for his country and is doing a lot of great things that haven't been done before in boxing. He certainly has the potential to be a socially significant fighter.

          I would agree.
          There is some potential for significance there..

          I say Elly Pical for similar reasons.

            Klitschko brothers, namely Vitali, went above and beyond his impact in Ukraine.
