Why Julian Jackson ranks #65 in Boxing
Julian Jackson ranks 65th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 587th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 82, Honours 84, 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 1981–1998 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1989, 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 two divisions 2, career wins 55, knockouts 49, title defences 9.
Immediately ahead sits Cocoa Kid on 87.6, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Katie Taylor on 87.2. 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.
