Why Miguel Canto ranks #84 in Boxing
Miguel Canto ranks 84th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 741st of 4013 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 92, Longevity 82, Honours 86, 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 1969–1982 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1976, 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 title defences 14, professional wins 61, world title reign in years 5, professional bouts 74.
Immediately ahead sits Barney Ross on 86.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Eugène Criqui 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.
