3. Sergio Martinez
4. Sergey Kovalev

6. Alexander Povetkin
7. Kubrat Pulev

The face of boxing has certainly changed over the past decade. In the (more objective, computer-generated) BoxRec P4P, there are 6 white fighters in the top 11, more than 50%.

The trend will likely continue, since there are so many good fighters from Eastern Europe now in the pro ranks, like Usyk, Beterbiev and Sheleschuk. There are some very good up-and-comers in Western Europe too, like Gavin in the UK and Nielsen in Denmark.
