Why this ranking
Louis 'Kid' Kaplan ranks #210 with a 80.10 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Jackie Fields in 1927, who reached a 1,902 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. In one case a result was later reversed: he beat Pancho Villa once, then lost to him 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 1,832 (±144), 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 101 bouts we hold full data for from 1923 to 1933, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,832 (peak dated 1927-05-01). 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 ±144 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
