Why Curtis Cokes ranks #100 in Boxing
Curtis Cokes ranks 100th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 782nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 84, Statistics 90. 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 1958–1972 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1967, 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 1, title defences 5, career wins 62, knockouts 30.
Immediately ahead sits Gene Fullmer on 86.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is José Nápoles on 85.9. 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.
