Why Charley Burley ranks #94 in Boxing
Charley Burley ranks 94th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 765th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 94, Longevity 82, Honours 76, Statistics 92. 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 1936–1950 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1943, 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 career wins 83, knockouts 50, california state titles 1, career bouts 98.
Immediately ahead sits Mariana Juárez on 86.3, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Jem Carney on 86.3. 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.
