Why Artur Beterbiev ranks #13 in Boxing
Artur Beterbiev ranks 13th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 157th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 92, Peak 96, Longevity 78, Honours 86, Statistics 96. Those categories are normalised against the full Boxing reference universe of 267 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2013–present with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2021, which sets the Peak component at 96. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles won 4, undisputed championships 1, professional wins 21, knockout percentage 95.
Immediately ahead sits Willie Pep on 89.8, a gap of 0.4 points. Directly behind is Dmitry Bivol on 89.0. 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.
