Why Billy Graham ranks #96 in Boxing
Billy Graham ranks 96th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 768th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 78, Statistics 94. 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 1941–1955 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1950, which sets the Peak component at 90. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career wins 102, career fights 126, world title challenges 2, seasons active 15.
Immediately ahead sits Jem Carney on 86.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Carlos Zárate on 86.1. 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.
