Why this ranking
Ken Overlin ranks #243 with a 79.07 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Ezzard Charles in 1941, who reached a 2,009 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. He also fought Ben Brown 6 times, going 4-0-2 across that series. 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 1,854 (±283), 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 106 bouts we hold full data for from 1935 to 1944, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,854 (peak dated 1944-09-01). 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 ±283 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
