Why this placement
Why this placement
Sonny Liston ranks #168 with a 81.44 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. The data-derived proxy signature-win marker points to a win over Floyd Patterson in 1963, because that defeated opponent carries a 1,879 Peak-form Elo in the same v1.2.2 export. The resolved-opponent data also shows a 3-fight series with Marty Marshall, with his release-row line at 2-1-0. The strongest model lifts are sustained top-level career signal (well above the typical top-1000 fighter) and sustained head-to-head rating level (around the typical top-1000 fighter). Peak-form Elo is 1,955 (±203), separate from the 60-100 career Index.
