Why Félix Trinidad ranks #45 in Boxing
Félix Trinidad ranks 45th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 562nd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 76, 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 1990–2008 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1990, 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 in weight classes 3, professional wins 42, knockouts 35, welterweight title defences 15.
Immediately ahead sits Gene Tunney on 84.4, a gap of 0.9 points. Directly behind is Claressa Shields on 83.6. 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.
