I’m not saying this is incorrect, just trying to get my head around it. Where do you stop? You wouldn’t have, for example, 2 Benny Leonards, the Leonard who made a comeback would just have his career stage set to End wouldn’t he? Plus if you are running a universe does it spoil the realism having 2 Ali’s in the game?
I am of a similar opinion regarding different ratings for multiple career stages.
