Why Katie Taylor ranks #20 in Boxing
Katie Taylor ranks 20th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 207th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 88, 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 2001–present with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2017, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 1, undisputed reigns 2, world amateur titles 5, world titles 8.
Immediately ahead sits George Foreman on 85.8, a gap of -1.4 points. Directly behind is Carlos Monzón on 88.0. 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.
