Why this ranking

Jake LaMotta ranks #241 with a 79.13 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Sugar Ray Robinson in 1943, who reached a 2,094 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. In 3 cases a result was later reversed, including Ray Robinson, whom he beat once but lost to in a later fight. 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 1,845 (±151), 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 83 bouts we hold full data for from 1941 to 1954, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.

For the data-minded

Peak-form Elo rating: 1,845 (peak dated 1945-08-01). 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 ±151 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
