Why Pancho Villa ranks #103 in Boxing
Pancho Villa ranks 103rd among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 903rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 58, Honours 84, 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 1919–1925 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1921, 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 won 1, professional wins 92, knockout wins 24, professional bouts 105.
Immediately ahead sits Chantelle Cameron on 81.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Nikolai Valuev on 81.8. 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.
