Another addition to the Papp uni is Bert Lytell who is rated as a light heavyweight in the default pool. BoxRec lists him as a middleweight, however, and it seems that he fought in the upper division due to a problem maintaining the 160 pound limit. I've incorporated this into the attached rating seeing him as a 4 in conditioning.

Personally, I think he's rated a little too high as a light heavy, but that's just my personal opinion. And I'm not offering any revision for that weight class.

After being counted out in two at the hands of Deacon Johnny Brown in 1946, he ran up a string of thirteen consecutive wins until he dropped a unanimous decision to Archie Moore in 1947. Included in that streak were wins over Charley Burley and Sam Baroudi. Yet when you look at it in its totality, the winning tear also includes victories over a far-gone Cocoa Kid, George Smith, and Jota Jota Fernandez.

So I've downgraded Lytell a little, taking him from a 10 down to an 8. A matchup against Papp in 1950 or 1951 seems to be in the cards.
