Alexander the Great

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.
Mario
“Jumpman” · Nintendo · 1981 · about 5′1″ (155 cm), about 154 lb (70 kg)

The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Alexander by DQ. Alexander, 15 cm taller at the same weight, presses forward as he always does, wounds be damned. In round two Mario jumps and comes down feet-first on his head, exactly as he does to Goombas. That's a stomp, a foul, and the referee disqualifies him. Alexander wins by DQ.
Fair fight? Make feet-first jump stomps legal for Mario. Then his triple-jump gives him a real way to close the height gap instead of a disqualification.
