Alexander the Great vs Theodore Roosevelt: who would win in a fist fight?
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.
Theodore Roosevelt
“Teddy” · United States · 1858–1919 · about 5′10″ (178 cm), about 220 lb (100 kg)
Led the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill in 1898, then became the 26th US President. A keen boxer until a punch in a White House sparring session cost him the sight in his left eye.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Roosevelt by TKO. Alexander leads from the front, which here means walking face-first into a keen boxer 30 kg heavier. He takes the punishment like a veteran of many wounds, but in round three the referee steps in. Roosevelt wins by TKO, and his judo throws stay home.
Fair fight? Fight at a 70 kg catchweight, so Roosevelt has to shed 30 kg and Alexander's charging style is at least facing someone his own size.
