Why Lennox Lewis ranks #27 in Boxing
Lennox Lewis ranks 27th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 307th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 90, Longevity 82, 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 1989–2003 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1990, 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 world titles 3, olympic golds 1, career wins 41, knockouts 32.
Immediately ahead sits Amanda Serrano on 86.2, a gap of -0.2 points. Directly behind is José Nápoles on 85.9. 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.
