Why Gabriel Elorde ranks #55 in Boxing
Gabriel Elorde ranks 55th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 499th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 88, Honours 84, Statistics 90. 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 1951–1971 with 21 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1962, 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 title reign in years 7, title defences 10, professional wins 88, knockouts 33.
Immediately ahead sits Joe Brown on 87.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Miguel Cotto on 87.8. 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.
