Why Alexis Argüello ranks #29 in Boxing
Alexis Argüello ranks 29th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 297th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 94, Longevity 84, Honours 90, 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 1968–1995 with 28 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1978, 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 world titles in weight classes 3, professional wins 82, knockouts 65, title defences 18.
Immediately ahead sits Artur Beterbiev on 89.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Antonio Cervantes on 89.4. 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.
