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.
Saddam Hussein
“The Ace of Spades” · Iraq · 1937–2006 · about 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)
President of Iraq from 1979 to 2003. Launched wars on Iran and Kuwait and brutally crushed opposition at home. Found hiding in a hole near Tikrit in 2003 and executed in 2006.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Amin by TKO. Amin, a former Ugandan light heavyweight champion, actually has a jab; Saddam has a bookshelf of self-published romance novels and zero rounds of ring experience. Amin, 5 cm taller and 15 kg heavier, walks him down and the corner throws in the towel in round one.
Fair fight? Let Saddam send a body double in his place — it's the only version of this fight he was ever reportedly built for.
