Why Marvelous Marvin Hagler ranks #30 in Boxing
Marvelous Marvin Hagler ranks 30th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 355th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 84, Statistics 88. 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 1973–1987 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1974, 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 1, title defences 12, career wins 62, knockouts 52.
Immediately ahead sits Rubén Olivares on 85.3, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Terence Crawford on 86.4. 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.
