Why Young Corbett III ranks #50 in Boxing
Young Corbett III ranks 50th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 471st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 90, Honours 84, Statistics 92. 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 1919–1940 with 22 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1932, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles in two divisions 2, career wins 126, knockouts 34, career bouts 158.
Immediately ahead sits Carlos Monzón on 88.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is James J. Jeffries on 87.9. 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.
