Why Juan Manuel Márquez ranks #24 in Boxing
Juan Manuel Márquez ranks 24th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 281st of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 88, Longevity 88, Honours 84, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Boxing reference universe of 267 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1993–2014 with 22 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1997, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles in weight classes 4, professional wins 56, knockouts 40, world title fights 25.
Immediately ahead sits Oleksandr Usyk on 87.6, a gap of 2.2 points. Directly behind is Cecilia Brækhus on 86.4. 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.
