Why Fidel LaBarba ranks #207 in Boxing
Fidel LaBarba ranks 207th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 1731st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 70, Honours 82, Statistics 80. 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 1924–1933 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1927, 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 olympic gold medals 1, world titles 1, professional wins 73, professional bouts 100.
Immediately ahead sits Shawn Porter on 80.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Christy Martin on 80.7. 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.
