Why Beau Jack ranks #75 in Boxing

Beau Jack ranks 75th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 670th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 84, 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 1940–1955 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1944, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world title reigns 2, career wins 88, knockouts 40, madison square garden main events 21.

Immediately ahead sits Nonpareil Jack Dempsey on 86.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jack Dillon on 86.5. 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.
