    Same premise as the @cross_trainer format. Journeyman are older or novice Sanders... champions are younger and so are contenders ect. Can the Rock make it to 49-0 against the legion of "Dangerous southpaws"

    There's no way. And I like Marciano.

    Sanders remained dangerous for a really long time. Even the trial horses would be murderous, and would just as likely owe their low rankings to unlucky punches against others like them.

    Marciano didn't mature overnight. He needed time to hone his style.

    The only upside here is that Marciano is an already-awkward fighter who's now the only man in the world to ever have fought orthodox in a world of southpaws. He has the southpaw advantage taken to the max.

    The cards in this universe would be 20 minute events. Rocky is a journeyman and gets nuked too many times before coming into his own and retires brain damaged with a 30-23 record or something.

    Are the lighter weight divisions just terrified of going into the Sanders meat grinder, or are they kid versions of Sanders with really irresponsible parents?

    Be harder to reach 49-0

    The second one. The CW and LHW champion is actually Marciano squaring off with an endless supply of teenage Corrie Sanders though.

    That's a relief. I was worried about the realism for a moment. Non-Sanders LHWs in this universe broke the immersion.

    Wladimir Klitschko over in the Brian London universe had better hope that he lives a good life. Or he'll wake up here.

    This question interests me about as much as "who would win a fight between a wolf and a thousand squirrels!"

    You will be pleased to know that all Sanders repopulate asexually and lay eggs too.

    Rocky would only hold the LHW-CW title beating up the teenage Corrie Sanders horde off challengers and you know it

    That's helpful. Female Briggses are one thing, but Corrie Sanders is a suspension of disbelief bridge too far.

    Does there never come a point, where a question is so hard to work out and irrelevant, that we might be better debating something else?
