Why Bobby Chacon ranks #151 in Boxing
Bobby Chacon ranks 151st among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 1152nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 80, Statistics 88. 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 1972–1988 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1980, 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 titles in two divisions 2, career wins 59, knockouts 47, fight of the year awards 2.
Immediately ahead sits Oscar De La Hoya on 84.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Tony Zale on 83.9. 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.
