Why Oscar De La Hoya ranks #38 in Boxing
Oscar De La Hoya ranks 38th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 445th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 86, Statistics 82. 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 1992–2008 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes professional wins 39, career losses 6, wins by knockout 30, world titles in weight classes 6.
Immediately ahead sits Erik Morales on 83.8, a gap of -0.2 points. Directly behind is Shane Mosley on 83.4. 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.
