Why this ranking
Virgil Hill ranks #216 with a 79.96 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Henry Maske in 1996, who reached a 2,053 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. In one case a result was later reversed: he beat Henry Maske once, then lost to him in a later fight. The strongest model lifts are sustained head-to-head rating level (above the typical top-1000 fighter) and sustained top-level career signal (above the typical top-1000 fighter). Peak-form Elo is 2,026 (±203), 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 58 bouts we hold full data for from 1984 to 2015, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 2,026 (peak dated 1993-04-01). 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 ±203 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
