Why this ranking
Kid Gavilan ranks #147 with a 81.93 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Ike Williams in 1949, who reached a 1,898 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. In 5 cases a result was later reversed, including Bobby Dykes, 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 1,834 (±138), 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 112 bouts we hold full data for from 1947 to 1958, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,834 (peak dated 1951-07-01). 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 ±138 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
