Idi Amin vs Mario: 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.
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.
Mario
“Jumpman” · Nintendo · 1981 · about 5′1″ (155 cm), about 154 lb (70 kg)
Nintendo’s mascot plumber, first seen jumping barrels in Donkey Kong. Has stomped more turtles than anyone alive and can lift Bowser by the tail.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Amin by DQ. Amin, a former national light heavyweight champ 38 cm taller, spends round one jabbing down at Mario's cap. In round two Mario triple-jumps into a ground-pound, which is a stomp, and the referee disqualifies him. Amin then adds a fresh title to his collection.
Fair fight? Legalise stomps and ground-pounds, and let Mario fight standing on a 38 cm box to erase the height gap. Amin still has 40 kg on him, so add a sandwich.
