Why Abe Attell ranks #17 in Boxing
Abe Attell ranks 17th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 210th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 94, Longevity 88, Honours 88, Statistics 92. Those categories are normalised against the full Boxing reference universe of 231 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1900–1917 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1908, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes years as champion 11, career wins 91, knockouts 51, title defences 18.
Immediately ahead sits Panama Al Brown on 90.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Joe Calzaghe on 90.2. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
