Why Wilfredo Gómez ranks #27 in Boxing
Wilfredo Gómez ranks 27th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 282nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 92, Peak 96, Longevity 76, Honours 90, Statistics 94. 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 1974–1989 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1980, which sets the Peak component at 96. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes consecutive title defences by knockout 17, world titles in weight classes 3, professional wins 44, knockouts 42.
Immediately ahead sits Héctor Camacho on 89.6, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Artur Beterbiev on 89.4. 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.
