H&G Elo v1.1.2 division leaderboard
Best Super Middleweight boxers of all time
Terence Crawford leads the Rank list, with Canelo Alvarez and Joe Calzaghe close enough to make the order worth arguing about.
This page keeps the super middleweight argument inside one weight class. It uses the frozen H&G Elo v1.1.2 launch leaderboard set, so it is a preview rather than a complete divisional encyclopedia.

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.
