Why Layla McCarter ranks #62 in Boxing

Layla McCarter ranks 62nd among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 553rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 92, Honours 80, 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 1998–present with 22 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1999, 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 4, professional wins 42, professional bouts 50, career span in years 27.

Immediately ahead sits Rubén Olivares on 85.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Pernell Whitaker on 85.2. 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.
