Why Shane Mosley ranks #39 in Boxing
Shane Mosley ranks 39th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 457th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 82, Statistics 84. 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 1993–2016 with 22 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles in weight classes 3, professional wins 49, knockouts 41, career losses 10.
Immediately ahead sits Oscar De La Hoya on 84.0, a gap of 0.6 points. Directly behind is Naoya Inoue on 86.3. 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.
