Just for clarification, I changed the ratings as per Dean's revisions in his "Ratings of the Day Council" thread. In fact I've replaced all of the standard ratings that come from the TBCB data bank with those he posted. If you haven't gotten an opportunity yet, take a look at them. There was very little debate over his revisions when they appeard during the tail end of the year. So he's not coming out of leftfield, and what he's come up with makes sense to me.
What I like about them for this uni is that there's a greater degree of parity between Patterson and the rest of the primary contenders (excluding Liston, of course). So when I sim a match, you're not too certain how things are going to turn out. And that's the general thrust of my uni. What would have happened if Sonny was out of the picture between 1957 and 1962? Could Floyd have defended his title successfully against the remaining contenders? None of these guys (Machen, Folley, Cooper, Williams, etc.) got a crack at his title. Personally, I think that these guys were either on an equal plane or just a little below Floyd. By using Dean's ratings here, that's sort of what I'm getting.
Thus far, I'm pretty satisfied with his efforts. They seem to be working well for what I'm trying to do with this uni.
In any event, thanks for your comments and interest in what I'm attempting to do with this wacky, what-if uni of mine.
