Why this ranking
Ron Lyle ranks #524 with a 74.95 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Joe Bugner in 1977, who reached a 1,864 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. He also fought Larry Middleton 2 times, going 2-0-0 across that series. The strongest model lifts are dominance over contemporaries (above the typical top-1000 fighter) and sustained top-level career signal (around the typical top-1000 fighter). Peak-form Elo is 1,876 (±165), 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 51 bouts we hold full data for from 1971 to 1995, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,876 (peak dated 1973-06-01). 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 ±165 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
