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.
Barack Obama
“No Drama Obama” · United States · b. 1961 · 6′1″ (185 cm), 175 lb (79.4 kg)
44th President of the United States and commander-in-chief during the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Serious pickup basketball player. A natural southpaw.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Obama by TKO. Alexander leads from the front, which here means walking face-first into a southpaw jab from a man 15 cm taller. Obama keeps his pickup-basketball footwork going, and the referee stops it in round three. Technically not a battle, so Alexander's record survives.
Fair fight? Shrink the ring to phone-booth size so the jab has no room to work, and Alexander finally gets to do what he does best: close the distance.
