Why Joe Choynski ranks #160 in Boxing
Joe Choynski ranks 160th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 1193rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 76, Statistics 88. 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 1888–1904 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1896, 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 career wins 50, knockouts 25, career bouts 79, wins over world champions 2.
Immediately ahead sits Naseem Hamed on 83.8, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Claressa Shields on 83.6. 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.
