Why Barney Aaron ranks #164 in Boxing
Barney Aaron ranks 164th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 1217th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 82, Statistics 84. 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 1819–1834 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1826, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career wins 12, career fights 16, championship claims 1, longest fight in rounds 62.
Immediately ahead sits Max Baer on 83.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Félix Trinidad on 83.5. 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.
