Why Panama Al Brown ranks #16 in Boxing

Panama Al Brown ranks 16th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 209th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 94, Longevity 88, Honours 88, Statistics 92. 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 1922–1942 with 21 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1931, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles 1, title defences 11, career wins 129, knockouts 59.

Immediately ahead sits Roberto Durán on 90.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Abe Attell on 90.3. 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.
