Why Pete Herman ranks #72 in Boxing
Pete Herman ranks 72nd among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 651st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 86, 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 1912–1922 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1918, 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 title reigns 2, career wins 68, knockouts 21, career bouts 148.
Immediately ahead sits Jimmy Carter on 86.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jack Blackburn on 86.9. 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.
