Why Rocky Graziano ranks #182 in Boxing
Rocky Graziano ranks 182nd among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 1359th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 74, Honours 82, Statistics 88. 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 1942–1952 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1947, 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 titles 1, career wins 67, knockouts 52, title fights 4.
Immediately ahead sits Jermain Taylor on 82.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Zab Judah on 82.7. 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.
