H&G Elo v1.1.2 decade leaderboard

Best boxers of the 2020s

Oleksandr Usyk leads the Score list, with Terence Crawford and Naoya Inoue close enough to make the order worth arguing about.

The 2020s slice is where heavyweight and super middleweight shape the H&G Elo v1.1.2 argument. Fighters qualify if any part of their recorded active years overlaps the decade, so crossover careers appear in more than one era.

A fighter qualifies for this page if any year of their recorded active career overlaps the decade. This means long careers can appear on multiple decade pages.

Read this with care

H&G Elo v1.1.2 is a fixed public release, not a live database. A fighter can lead one signal and still sit lower in the main all-time list because the final score blends peak, prime, era dominance, title evidence, signature wins and longevity.

For disputed placements, use the fighter page, methodology page and corrections process rather than treating one number as the whole argument.
