Why Shawn Porter ranks #112 in Boxing
Shawn Porter ranks 112th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 990th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 88, Longevity 80, Honours 78, 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 2008–2021 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2009, 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 won 2, professional wins 31, knockout wins 17, professional losses 4.
Immediately ahead sits Mikaela Mayer on 80.9, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Christy Martin on 80.7. 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.
