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.
Audie Murphy
“To Hell and Back” · United States · 1925–1971 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 110 lb (50 kg)
The most decorated American soldier of the Second World War. Won the Medal of Honor at 19 by holding off a German company alone from atop a burning tank destroyer. Later a Hollywood star.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Alexander by TKO. The Marines and the paratroopers already said Murphy was too small, and Alexander is 20 kg heavier. Murphy keeps stubbornly getting up, but Alexander, who leads from the front, keeps walking through his punches until the referee stops it in round three.
Fair fight? Make both men weigh in at 60 kg, so Murphy gains 10 kg and Alexander loses 10. Then the size gap disappears and it becomes a real scrap.
