Why Nino Benvenuti ranks #66 in Boxing
Nino Benvenuti ranks 66th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 583rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 76, Honours 86, 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 1960–1971 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1962, 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 2, olympic golds 1, professional wins 82, career knockouts 35.
Immediately ahead sits Marcel Cerdan on 85.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Seniesa Estrada on 85.0. 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.
