Why Shannon Briggs ranks #125 in Boxing
Shannon Briggs ranks 125th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 1232nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 79.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 86, Longevity 86, Honours 70, 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 1992–2016 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2004, which sets the Peak component at 86. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles won 1, lineal championships 1, professional wins 60, knockouts 53.
Immediately ahead sits Lucia Rijker on 79.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Ron Lyle on 79.0. 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.
