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.
George S. Patton
“Old Blood and Guts” · United States · 1885–1945 · 6′2″ (188 cm), about 185 lb (84 kg)
US general whose Third Army tore across France in 1944. Competed in the first Olympic modern pentathlon in 1912, finishing fifth, and designed the US Army’s last cavalry sword.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Amin by TKO. Amin, Uganda's light heavyweight champion for most of the 1950s, is 26 kg heavier and has the far better ring résumé. Patton keeps marching forward, so the referee stops it in round two. Amin then crowns himself Conqueror of the Third Army.
Fair fight? Swap the ring for a modern pentathlon, the event where Patton finished fifth in 1912. Fencing, shooting, swimming, riding and running leave Amin's heavyweight punching power with nothing to do.
