Idi Amin 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.
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.
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)
Amin by DQ. Amin, a 1950s national light heavyweight champion, keeps landing on Teddy's blind left side. In round two Teddy slips back into White House judo and hip-tosses him. Foul, instant DQ. Amin, 15 cm taller, promptly awards himself "Conqueror of the Ring".
Fair fight? Allow judo throws for both men. Teddy's White House dojo training then meets Amin's rugby-club tackling on equal terms, and nobody has to be disqualified for doing what comes naturally.
