Why Pipino Cuevas ranks #69 in Boxing
Pipino Cuevas ranks 69th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 595th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 82, 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 1971–1989 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1972, 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 defences 11, professional wins 35, knockout wins 31, professional losses 15.
Immediately ahead sits Sandy Saddler on 84.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jimmy McLarnin on 84.6. 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.
