Why this ranking
Willie Ritchie ranks #839 with a 72.08 score on the 60-100 H&G All-Time Index. His standout win in our data is over Benny Leonard in 1919, who reached a 1,998 Peak-form Elo, one of the stronger opponents on his record. In one case a result was later reversed: he beat Benny Leonard 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. Our fight-by-fight records do not add up to his full public win-loss-draw total, so the head-to-head details here are a partial picture. Peak-form Elo is 1,740 (±218), 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 53 bouts we hold full data for from 1906 to 1927, which is why this count differs from the professional record above.
For the data-minded
Peak-form Elo rating: 1,740 (peak dated 1919-02-01). 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 ±218 Elo, so read close comparisons with care.
