Why this ranking
Antonio Tarver ranks #325 with a 77.39 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Roy Jones Jr in 2005, who reached a 2,114 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. He also has one win over an opponent who were ranked in the top 100 around the time of the fight; these are matched by name and date, so we treat them as a careful estimate. Data Confidence is Medium, so the rating should be read with wider uncertainty. Peak-form Elo is 1,924 (±196), 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 38 bouts we hold full data for from 1997 to 2015, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,924 (peak dated 2002-07-01). 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 ±196 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
