I believe that Urek will retain his title of climbing the tower the fastest, but Baam’s claim to fame will be the highest ranking upon being ranked. If Baam kills Karaka on his own Floor, by himself, while still a Regular, then he'd have already turned into a God-Mode Sue character in my opinion. And that would be so bad for the story. So bad. Also, I don't think Baam's claim to fame will be highest ranking upon being ranked for two simple reasons:
 * 1) Urek climbed the Tower in 50 years (which would obviously have played a massive part in deciding his ranking).
 * 2) On his lightning fast climb up the Tower, Urek managed to match in a fight before becoming a Ranker.

Don't get me wrong, with Baam's unique ability (which basically allows him to get infinitely stronger) I have no doubt in my mind he can  become the strongest person in the Tower. But Baam defeating a High Ranker whilst still a Regular ? I just can't see it... especially if it's before the 100th Floor. The only way an event like that could be justified in-story is if Baam, does some serious training-from-hell , masters his current set of techniques, adds some new techniques to his roster and masters the Thorn.
