Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Alexander the Great
“King of Macedon” · Macedon · 356–323 BC · about 5′7″ (170 cm), about 154 lb (70 kg)
King of Macedon who built an empire stretching from Greece to northwest India by the age of 30 and never lost a battle. Tutored by Aristotle; tamed the horse Bucephalus as a boy.
Fidel Castro
“El Comandante” · Cuba · 1926–2016 · about 6′3″ (191 cm), about 198 lb (90 kg)
Guerrilla commander who seized power in Cuba in 1959 and ruled for nearly five decades. Survived the Bay of Pigs invasion and, by Cuban count, more than 600 assassination plots.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Castro by DQ. Alexander charges in from the front, as he does, but Castro's 21 cm height edge means he keeps walking into punches. In round two he treats a clinch like the Gordian Knot: no untying, just a shortcut. The piledriver gets him disqualified.
Fair fight? Make Castro fight from his knees. The 21 cm height gap disappears, and Alexander's head-first charge finally has a target worth hitting.
