Why this ranking
Mike O'Dowd ranks #137 with a 82.27 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Mike Gibbons in 1922, who reached a 1,929 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. In 5 cases a result was later reversed, including Joe Eagan, whom he beat once but lost to in a later fight. Data Confidence is Medium, so the rating should be read with wider uncertainty. Peak-form Elo is 1,812 (±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 79 bouts we hold full data for from 1915 to 1923, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,812 (peak dated 1919-11-01). This best-point rating sits on its own scale and is not directly comparable with the 0-100 index.
