Why Mike Gibbons ranks #143 in Boxing
Mike Gibbons ranks 143rd among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 1077th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 76, Statistics 90. 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 1908–1922 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1915, 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 career wins 63, knockouts 39, career bouts 130, career losses 4.
Immediately ahead sits Ingemar Johansson on 84.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Gene Tunney on 84.4. 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.
