Why this ranking
Joe Jennette ranks #173 with a 81.09 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Sam Langford in 1915, who reached a 1,804 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. In 2 cases a result was later reversed, including Battling Jim Johnson, 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 quality of opponents beaten (above the typical top-1000 fighter). Peak-form Elo is 1,822 (±209), separate from the 60-100 career Index.
What lifts or lowers this ranking

How much repeat elite-year presence supports the all-time case.
How much the record is helped by wins over contemporaneous title-level opponents.
Same-era separation left after the shared peak and sustained rating signal is removed.
A narrow signal for lineal, explicit undisputed or major multi-belt class control in this release data; it is not a full title history.
How much major title evidence supports the rating.
Collapsed signal from peak rating, sustained rating and same-era separation.
Recognition
Ranked on the record, not the colour line
Joe Jennette was barred from the world heavyweight title by reigning champion Jack Johnson, who refused to defend against fellow Black heavyweights after winning the championship in 1908. A World Colored Heavyweight Champion, he is ranked here on his record alone, with no credit for the segregated title and no compensating bonus for the shot he never received. His placement reflects only what the corpus documents, which the colour bar itself kept incomplete.

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 119 bouts we hold full data for from 1911 to 1919, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,822 (peak dated 1919-02-01). 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 ±209 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
