Why Lew Jenkins ranks #184 in Boxing
Lew Jenkins ranks 184th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 1376th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 92, Longevity 78, Honours 80, Statistics 88. 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 1935–1950 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1940, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak 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 1, career wins 73, knockouts 51, title defences 2.
Immediately ahead sits Zab Judah on 82.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jessica McCaskill on 82.5. 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.
