Why Héctor Camacho ranks #26 in Boxing
Héctor Camacho ranks 26th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 275th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 92, Honours 88, 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 1980–2010 with 31 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1986, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles in three divisions 3, career wins 79, knockouts 38, career bouts 88.
Immediately ahead sits Emile Griffith on 89.7, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Wilfredo Gómez on 89.5. 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.
