Here's the list of RL MW Champs for the same time period compared to the results for my Uni:

NP Jack Dempsey RL: Jul 1884 Uni: May 1884
Bob Fitzsimmons RL: Jan. 1891 Uni: Not Rated at MW
Charles Kid McCoy RL: Dec. 1897 Uni: Jan. 1898
Tommy Ryan RL: Oct. 1898 Uni: Jun. 1897
Stanley Ketchel RL: May 1908 Uni: Oct. 1907
Billy Papke RL: Sep. 1908 Uni: May 1909
Frank Klaus RL: March 1913 Uni: Not Yet
George Chip RL: Oct. 1913 Uni: Not Yet
Al McCoy RL: Apr. 1914 Uni: Not Yet
Mike O'Dowd RL: Nov. 1917 Uni: Too Soon
Johnny Wilson RL: May 1920 Uni: Too Soon
Harry Greb RL: Aug. 1923 Uni: Too Soon

So far, the only real "miss" has been Klaus, who is well past his prime and unlikely to re-emerge as a title contender. Ryan ascended earlier than IRL. partially because I did not have Fitz rated at MW. The fact that Fitz was not rated at MW also meant a much longer (a record 12-year reign) for NP Jack Dempsey as world MW king. Ketchel, as IRL, had a meteroic rise but also an all-too quick end to his turbulent career. Biggest disappointment thus far of any of these guys has been George Chip, who has struggled in my Uni and not even been able to snap a USBA or NABF belt. Al McCoy has also struggled, though not as badly as Chip, and there's at least an outside possibility he could emerge on the winning end of a WBA title bout. Too soon to tell for the three newer guys, although Greb's performance thus far has the mark of a sure-fire champion which may push the other two (O'Dowd and Wilson) into the background.
