Why this ranking
Freddie Welsh ranks #174 with a 81.09 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Benny Leonard in 1916, who reached a 1,998 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. In 4 cases a result was later reversed, including Willie Ritchie, whom he beat once but lost to in a later fight. Holding the score back, sustained head-to-head rating level sits below the field of ranked fighters in this release. Our fight-by-fight records do not add up to his full public win-loss-draw total, so the head-to-head details here are a partial picture. Peak-form Elo is 1,754 (±164), 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 90 bouts we hold full data for from 1910 to 1922, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,754 (peak dated 1911-11-01). 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 ±164 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
