Why Carlos Monzón ranks #21 in Boxing
Carlos Monzón ranks 21st among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 224th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 86, Statistics 90. 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 1963–1977 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1971, 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 defences 14, professional wins 87, knockouts 59, career losses 3.
Immediately ahead sits Katie Taylor on 87.2, a gap of -0.8 points. Directly behind is Andre Ward on 88.4. 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.
