Why this ranking
Lennox Lewis ranks #15 with a 93.65 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. Every loss on his record was later avenged with a win over the same opponent. His standout win in our data is over Vitali Klitschko in 2003, who reached a 2,218 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. Holding the score back, dominance over contemporaries sits below the field of ranked fighters in this release. Data Confidence is Medium, so the rating should be read with wider uncertainty. Peak-form Elo is 2,144 (±289), 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 44 bouts we hold full data for from 1989 to 2003, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 2,144 (peak dated 2003-06-01). 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 ±289 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
