    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
