Why Jeff Fenech ranks #125 in Boxing
Jeff Fenech ranks 125th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 951st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 74, Honours 86, Statistics 86. 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 1984–2008 with 25 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1990, 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 weight classes 3, professional wins 29, knockouts 21, title defences 9.
Immediately ahead sits Pernell Whitaker on 85.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Wilfred Benítez on 85.2. 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.
