H&G All-Time Index v2.0.0 visual leaderboard

Best boxers by longevity near the top

Terence Crawford leads the Longevity score list, with Joe Louis and Canelo Alvarez close enough to make the order worth arguing about.

This list ranks fighters by how long they stayed near the top. In H&G All-Time Index v2.0.0 a very long career on its own cannot win, so read this as time spent at an elite level, not just years boxing.

Showing the top 100 by longevity score. Every ranked fighter is searchable on the main all-time index.

Read this with care

H&G All-Time Index v2.0.0 is a fixed public release, not a live database. A fighter can top one of these lists and still rank lower overall. The all-time score blends several things: how good they were in their fights, how far ahead of their rivals they stood, how tough their opponents were, their title record, and how long they stayed near the top.

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