Why this placement

Methodology

Paul Pender ranks #467 with a 75.25 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. The data-derived proxy signature-win marker points to a win over Sugar Ray Robinson in 1960, because that defeated opponent carries a 2,094 Peak-form Elo in the same v1.2.2 export. The parsed-opponent data records one reversal pattern: he later lost to Terry Downes after an earlier win over the same resolved opponent. Holding the score back, sustained head-to-head rating level sits below the field of ranked fighters in this release. Data Confidence is Low, so the rating should be read with wider uncertainty. Peak-form Elo is 1,787 (±268), separate from the 60-100 career Index.
