Going outside the idea of influence outside of sports, and running with the current theme of dominance in a sport.

Eddy Merckx - 525 pro cycling victories, far more than anyone else. And not just in little races, 11 wins came in the big tours, 26 in major races, and 4 world championships 1 amateur and 3 pro. Many wins were by huge margins.

Beryl Burton - British time trial specialist, she won seven world championships, 90 British titles, and set a 12 hour record that remained better than the mens record for 2 years. And won the best all-round competition in the UK every year from 1959-1983.
