I play at least with the idea. But I guess I'm not such a gifted writer like so many here and I'm not a native speaker but maybe I will post the results at least. At least, this would be an option.

Simple example, Liston would get his title shot three years early.

Indeed, the odds for a title shot in 1959 or 1960 would not be that bad. But if someone beats perhaps Pastrano, Moore and Johansson on the road to a title shot he earned it (at least in the opinion of the Boxing Association which sets the guidelines after some titles were not fought in years).

However you're likely to find though that after only a few years you'll have created a complete diverged universe, so the Ring's ratings only end up as guide to what boxers are around. (Or that's what I found with my Tyson simulation.)

This coud easily happen and would be a nice sideeffect. I'm not planning a real historic universe but a legit one in its own rights. But as you say Bob, the Ring ratings will be "just" a guideline but to be honest, I need it as a helping hand.
