Why this ranking
Roy Jones Jr ranks #8 with a 95.71 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Felix Trinidad in 2008, who reached a 2,108 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. He also has 3 wins over opponents who were ranked in the top 100 around the time of the fight; these are matched by name and date, so we treat them as a careful estimate. Holding the score back, dominance over contemporaries sits below the field of ranked fighters in this release. Peak-form Elo is 2,114 (±200), 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 73 bouts we hold full data for from 1989 to 2023, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 2,114 (peak dated 1995-06-01). 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 ±200 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
