Why Joey Giardello ranks #67 in Boxing
Joey Giardello ranks 67th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 611th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 92, Honours 82, 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 1948–1967 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1962, which sets the Peak component at 90. Longevity 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 101, title defences 2, knockouts 33.
Immediately ahead sits Katie Taylor on 87.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Carl Froch on 87.0. 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.
