Why Michael Carbajal ranks #154 in Boxing
Michael Carbajal ranks 154th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 1173rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 74, Honours 84, Statistics 86. 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 1989–1999 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, 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 4, professional wins 49, knockouts 33, olympic silver medals 1.
Immediately ahead sits Ken Buchanan on 83.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Donald Curry on 83.9. 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.
