Why Dante Boninfante ranks #231 in Volleyball

Dante Boninfante ranks 231st among Volleyball athletes on GOAT Rank and 3374th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 82, Longevity 86, Honours 78, Statistics 76. Those categories are normalised against the full Volleyball reference universe of 308 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1999–2018 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, which sets the Peak component at 82. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic medals 1, world league medals 2, italian league titles 1, european club medals 2.

Immediately ahead sits Haleigh Washington on 78.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Massimo Colaci on 78.6. 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.
