Why Harold Johnson ranks #44 in Boxing
Harold Johnson ranks 44th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 422nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 92, Honours 84, Statistics 92. 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 1946–1971 with 26 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1960, 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 76, knockouts 32, title defences 3.
Immediately ahead sits Khaosai Galaxy on 88.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Sugar Ray Leonard on 88.2. 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.
