Why this ranking
Tommy Ryan ranks #19 with a 92.80 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. He held titles in middleweight and welterweight at the same time, a strong sign of greatness across weight classes. His standout win in our data is over Philadelphia Jack O'Brien in 1904, who reached a 1,796 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. The honest tension is that a meaningful share of the lift comes from early-era résumé credit, so the title-control and longevity signals should be read beside the less decisive head-to-head rating signal. Peak-form Elo is 1,848 (±243), separate from the 60-100 career Index.
