Why Cocoa Kid ranks #64 in Boxing
Cocoa Kid ranks 64th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 540th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 88, Honours 80, Statistics 94. 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 1929–1948 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1937, which sets the Peak component at 92. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes coloured world title reigns 2, career wins 165, career fights 249, knockouts 60.
Immediately ahead sits Naoko Fujioka on 87.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Julian Jackson on 87.3. 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.
