Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Idi Amin
“Big Daddy” · Uganda · c. 1925–2003 · about 6′4″ (193 cm), about 243 lb (110 kg)
Military dictator of Uganda from 1971 to 1979, whose regime killed an estimated 100,000 to 500,000 people. Earlier, Uganda’s national light heavyweight boxing champion for most of the 1950s.
Abraham Lincoln
“Honest Abe” · United States · 1809–1865 · 6′4″ (193 cm), about 181 lb (82 kg)
16th US President and commander-in-chief through the Civil War. As a young man, a feared frontier wrestler said to have lost only once in about 300 matches. In the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Amin by DQ. Amin, a real light heavyweight boxing champion at 28 kg heavier, is picking Lincoln apart on the outside. But Lincoln's 300-match wrestling instincts kick in, he ducks a jab into a hip-toss, and the ref disqualifies Honest Abe on the spot.
Fair fight? Make it a wrestling match instead of boxing — Lincoln's actual specialty — and Amin's boxing pedigree becomes irrelevant.
