    In this timeline, Ellis never existed and is replaced by Ezzard Charles as we knew him. Like Ellis (and like Charles did in reality) he turns pro at middleweight in 1961. Eventually, he ends up in the heavyweight division. Does he have the same success that Ellis did. Does he beat everyone Ellis beat? Does he go one better and beat Joe Frazier?
