I think there's only two currently active prizefighters who can actually retire today and be considered truly great in a historical sense and that's Pacquaio and Chocolatito.
Lomachenko is clearly a great fighter and is basically a guarantee to be considered a truly great fighter but even he's not there -yet. Maybe with a dominant win next month he's probably just achieved it. I think Crawford is a great fighter on his way too but still would fall short from being labeled a historically great fighter if he retired today.
Charlo isn't going to be a great fighter at any point. He's a good fighter and potentially an elite level fighter but let's not get carried away. Greatness is a term that's used far too loosely.

Anyway, truly elite level top, top guys yet to touch a mill? Easy. Chocolatito, Inoue, Rungvisai, Estrada, Nietes. All of those guys are absolutely quality fighters and haven't sniffed a mill. I'd say apart from Chocolatito probably not even $500k.
Those guys are all better than Charlo and to be honest probably Jacobs too.
