LH Ranking Comparison
Continuing with the new feature, here are the year-end 1924 Ring ratings compared to my Uni:
Ring #1 Gene Tunney -- already atop the HW division, a few years ahead of schedule
Ring #2 Young Stribling -- had him in HW from the beginning, though Ring has him rated at LH for the first four years through 1927
Ring #3 Kid Norfolk -- #4 right now in my Uni, but he held the Title
Ring #4 Mike McTigue, Champion -- #8 in my Uni, so far he has underperformed versus history
Ring #5 Ad Stone -- unbeaten in my Uni, ranked #11
Ring #6 Jeff Smith -- #3 in my Uni
Ring #7 Paul Berlenbach -- still a Prospect with a perfect 9-0 start in my Uni, probably fought many more bouts in RL to this point in his career
Ring #8 Young Marullo -- had a poor 1924, dropped to #23 after flirting with a top 10 ranking for awhile
Ring #9 Tommy Loughran -- #5 in my Uni
Ring #10 Jimmy Delaney -- Duluth Jimmy, #9 in my Uni
Missing but found in the MW list are three guys in my Top 10, including the Champ, Greb (MW Champ and #1 in the Ring ratings), Jack Delaney (#4 in the Ring MW list) and Jimmy Slattery (#3 Ring MW). The only guy in my LH Top 10 I can't find is Brit Len Harvey, who probably took a few more years to rise to prominence whereas in my Uni, the lack of other top British LHs probably accelerated his rise to the top group.
Overall, very pleased with how the LHs in the Uni are performing versus RL.
