I used to workout in his gym in Trenton in the late 80's and very early 90s. He said that he was ranked #1 for a few years but never got a shot at a title.

MJ, in doing some research on Sammy Goss I have found in old issues of
The Ring Record Book and Encyclopedia Sammy is indeed rated as high as 2nd when including all fighters from the Junior Lightweight division, so it is quite possible that he was rated number one in either the W.B.A. or W.B.C. Greg

His brother Barry, who along with Sammy is in the NJ sports hall of fame, actually ran the gym. Sammy would come in a few times a week. They were both great boxing coaches.
