Why Zab Judah ranks #96 in Boxing
Zab Judah ranks 96th among Boxing athletes on GOAT Rank and 823rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 78, Statistics 86. 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 1996–2019 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1996, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world titles in divisions 2, undisputed titles 1, professional wins 44, career knockouts 30.
Immediately ahead sits Jermain Taylor on 82.8, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Jessica McCaskill on 82.5. 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.
