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.
Miyamoto Musashi
“The Sword Saint” · Japan · c. 1584–1645 · about 5′11″ (180 cm), about 176 lb (80 kg)
Japanese swordsman who said he won all 61 of his duels, and author of The Book of Five Rings. Famously turned up late to his duel with Sasaki Kojirō and won with a wooden sword carved from an oar.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Amin by TKO. Amin is 13 cm taller, 30 kg heavier and a former national light heavyweight champion. Musashi's résumé is duels, paintings and calligraphy. In round two a body shot folds the Sword Saint and the referee stops it. Amin then awards himself "Conqueror of the Ring."
Fair fight? Make Amin drop 30 kg to Musashi's 80 kg weight, so the champion's boxing experience is the only advantage left.
