Why Fabio Cannavaro ranks #81 in Football
Fabio Cannavaro ranks 81st among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 134th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 86, Honours 90, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 895 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1992–2011 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2006, 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 cup titles 1, ballon d'or awards 1, fifa world player awards 1, italy caps 136.
Immediately ahead sits Paco Gento on 87.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Kadeisha Buchanan on 87.6. 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.
