Why this placement

Methodology

Thomas Hearns ranks #89 with a 85.33 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. The data-derived proxy signature-win marker points to a win over Virgil Hill in 1991, because that defeated opponent carries a 2,023 Peak-form Elo in the same v1.2.2 export. The resolved-opponent data also shows a 2-fight series with Iran Barkley, with his release-row line at 0-2-0. The strongest model lifts are sustained top-level career signal (above the typical top-1000 fighter) and sustained head-to-head rating level (around the typical top-1000 fighter). Peak-form Elo is 1,982 (±200), separate from the 60-100 career Index.
