    The criteria is that they are on the elite level, have not been accused or convicted of some felonious crime such as assault or **** and have achieved much in boxing as well as outside of boxing.

    For me:

    Manny Pacquaio

    The Klitchkos

    Please list others.

    Ward. For all the chat he gets about being called "SoG", he's a humble and warm guy, faithful to his wife, and hard-working.

    historically:
    louis
    ali
    johnson
    hagler
    hearns
    braddock
    basilio

    today:
    pacquiao
    ghost guerrero
    daniel jacobs
    paul williams
    jaun manuel marquez
    klitschkos
    ward

    Mayorga? Pretty he raped some girl and paid some people to forget about it.

    Chisora? Wasn't he some street thug?
