Why Fred Apostoli ranks #149 in Boxing

Fred Apostoli ranks 149th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 1133rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 78, Honours 82, Statistics 88. 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 1934–1948 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1939, 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 world titles 1, career wins 61, knockouts 31, title defences 3.

Immediately ahead sits Jackie Nava on 84.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Oscar De La Hoya on 84.0. 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.
