Why this ranking
Marcel Cerdan ranks #162 with a 81.43 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index.

He also fought Omar Kouidri 6 times, going 6-0-0 across that series.

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 1936 to 1949, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,903 (peak dated 1946-07-01). 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 ±204 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
