Why this ranking
Al McCoy ranks #942 with a 71.30 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index; that sits in the lower range of this visible index scale, but still means inclusion among the 1,000 ranked fighters. His standout win in our data is over Tommy Loughran in 1936, who reached a 1,937 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. In 2 cases a result was later reversed, including Buddy Knox, whom he beat once but lost to in a later fight. Holding the score back, sustained head-to-head rating level sits below the field of ranked fighters in this release. Data Confidence is Medium, so the rating should be read with wider uncertainty. Peak-form Elo is 1,765 (±144), separate from the 60-100 career Index.

About this rating
Rankings: H&G All-Time Index v2.0.0. Reflects fights up to , the most recent on record. The ratings are fixed to that point, so fights after it are not yet included.
The rating itself is built from the 57 bouts we hold full data for from 1931 to 1942, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,765 (peak dated 1935-06-01). This best-point rating sits on its own scale and is not directly comparable with the 0-100 index.
The peak estimate carries an uncertainty band of about ±144 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
