Why Carlos Zárate ranks #46 in Boxing
Carlos Zárate ranks 46th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 450th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 78, Honours 82, Statistics 92. 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 1970–1988 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1971, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles 1, professional wins 66, career knockouts 63, title defences 9.
Immediately ahead sits Mariana Juárez on 86.3, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Gervonta Davis 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.
