Why this ranking
Johnny Tapia ranks #128 with a 82.53 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Manuel Medina in 2002, who reached a 1,852 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. He also fought Frankie Archuleta 2 times, going 1-1-0 across that series. The strongest model lifts are quality of opponents beaten (above the typical top-1000 fighter) and world-title record (well above the typical top-1000 fighter).

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 61 bouts we hold full data for from 1988 to 2011, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,931 (peak dated 1996-06-01). 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 ±200 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
