Why Danny García ranks #82 in Boxing

Danny García ranks 82nd among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 723rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 84, Honours 82, Statistics 86. 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 2007–present with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2007, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles won 4, professional wins 37, knockout wins 21, professional losses 3.

Immediately ahead sits Claressa Shields on 83.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Félix Trinidad on 83.5. 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.
