Why George Groves ranks #128 in Boxing
George Groves ranks 128th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 1265th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 88, Longevity 74, Honours 76, Statistics 84. 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 2008–2018 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles won 1, professional wins 28, knockout wins 20, professional losses 4.
Immediately ahead sits Salvador Sánchez on 78.8, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Lamon Brewster on 78.5. 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.
