I think in this case I was using great to mean:

notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding

As in, Nelson Mandela was an exceptionally outstanding individual who overcame remarkable odds to make notable contributions to the cause of freedom.

Probably one of the most under-rated persons who had a tremendous impact on our culture is Hugh Hefner.

Flynt was a party in a number of important legal actions; Falwell vs. Hustler being the most important, obviously.

I don't think I would count him or Hefner in the same league with Mandela and Ghandi.

Well of course not! But it is like the Apostle Paul said about there being different parts of the body and we all serving a different function so to speak.
