Why Tyson Fury ranks #53 in Boxing
Tyson Fury ranks 53rd among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 735th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 74, Honours 78, Statistics 82. 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–present with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2010, 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 professional wins 34, wins by knockout 24, career losses 2, world title fights 12.
Immediately ahead sits Sonny Liston on 81.1, a gap of 0.8 points. Directly behind is Aaron Pryor on 81.5. 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.
