Why this ranking
Dave Sands ranks #906 with a 71.54 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 Bobo Olson in 1951, who reached a 1,859 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. He also fought Boy Brooks 3 times, going 3-0-0 across that series. Holding the score back, quality of opponents beaten sits below the field of ranked fighters in this release. Data Confidence is Low, so the rating should be read with wider uncertainty. Peak-form Elo is 1,840 (±212), 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 19 bouts we hold full data for from 1941 to 1952, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,840 (peak dated 1950-04-01). 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 ±212 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
