Why this ranking
Harold Johnson ranks #104 with a 83.52 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Ezzard Charles in 1953, who reached a 2,009 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. In 3 cases a result was later reversed, including Archie Moore, whom he beat once but lost to in a later fight. The strongest model lifts are sustained top-level career signal (well above the typical top-1000 fighter) and major title-control signal (above the typical top-1000 fighter). Peak-form Elo is 1,835 (±220), 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 55 bouts we hold full data for from 1946 to 1971, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,835 (peak dated 1958-12-01). 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 ±220 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
