Why this ranking
Buddy McGirt ranks #249 with a 78.84 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Patrizio Oliva in 1992, who reached a 1,929 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. He also fought Felix Nance 2 times, going 2-0-0 across that series. The strongest model lifts are sustained head-to-head rating level (above the typical top-1000 fighter) and quality of opponents beaten (around the typical top-1000 fighter). Peak-form Elo is 1,975 (±191), 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 72 bouts we hold full data for from 1982 to 1997, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,975 (peak dated 1990-07-01). 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 ±191 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
