Lee, Dempsey is still at Pre-Prime. I don't use Auto-Aging but instead use the sort feature and make sure all RL guys move to Prime after 20 bouts after which the career retirement points countdown begins (100 pp, I think it was the Cubedrum system). TCs I move up to Prime after fewer bouts (15 usually). As for rankings, all fighters become eligible for a ranking after 15 bouts. By way of comparison, the great Harry Wills (the man who Dempsey was accused of ducking throughout his career) won his first 18 in a row, 17 by KO, and this was good for #8 in the HW rankings list with slightly more than 700 pp, which may be a good target for where Jack may wind up when the 1916 action concludes. Depends on how many bouts he gets in, strength of opposition, and of course, if he keeps winning ...

Incidentally, while we are on the subject of consecutive KO win streaks, I would be remiss to leave out WW prospect Willie Loughlin, who just blasted out his first true RL opponent, Australian Fred Kay (TKO in the first), and now has a perfect 11-0 record, all by KOs, to start his career off well.

All of this reminds me I am up to the WW for the recap and "Champs or Chumps" feature, which will be the subject of the next post or two.
