Why Yoko Gushiken ranks #53 in Boxing
Yoko Gushiken ranks 53rd among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 481st of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 74, Honours 86, Statistics 90. 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 1974–1981 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1975, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world title defences 13, professional wins 23, knockout wins 15, professional losses 1.
Immediately ahead sits George Foreman on 85.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Nicola Adams on 85.7. 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.
