Why this ranking
Stanley Ketchel ranks #167 with a 81.33 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Philadelphia Jack O'Brien in 1909, who reached a 1,796 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. In one case a result was later reversed: he beat Billy Papke once, then lost to him in a later fight. Holding the score back, sustained head-to-head rating level sits below the field of ranked fighters in this release. Data Confidence is Medium, so the rating should be read with wider uncertainty. The expert prior (a small, fixed nudge from a published all-time list, mainly for early fighters with thin records) lifts this score slightly.
