Why this placement
Why this placement
Ezzard Charles ranks #38 with a 89.74 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. The data-derived proxy signature-win marker points to a win over Joe Louis in 1950, because that defeated opponent carries a 2,121 Peak-form Elo in the same v1.2.3 export. The parsed-opponent data records 2 reversal patterns, including a later loss to Jersey Joe Walcott after an earlier win over the same resolved opponent. Data Confidence is Low, so the rating should be read with wider uncertainty. Peak-form Elo is 2,012, separate from the 60-100 career Index.
