Why Carl Froch ranks #29 in Boxing
Carl Froch ranks 29th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 352nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 88, Statistics 88. 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 2002–2014 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2003, 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 fights 15, professional wins 33, knockout wins 24, professional losses 2.
Immediately ahead sits Katie Taylor on 87.2, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Sergey Kovalev on 86.9. 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.
