Fidel Castro vs Genghis Khan: 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.
Fidel Castro
“El Comandante” · Cuba · 1926–2016 · about 6′3″ (191 cm), about 198 lb (90 kg)
Guerrilla commander who seized power in Cuba in 1959 and ruled for nearly five decades. Survived the Bay of Pigs invasion and, by Cuban count, more than 600 assassination plots.
Genghis Khan
“The Great Khan” · Mongolia · c. 1162–1227 · about 5′7″ (170 cm), about 165 lb (75 kg)
Founder of the Mongol Empire, which grew into the largest contiguous land empire in history. Rose from an outcast childhood on the steppe to unite the Mongol tribes in 1206.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Castro by Decision. Castro wins on decision. Genghis learned to ride and shoot as a small child, but with no horse or bow he spends nine minutes 21 cm shorter, hunting for a relay station to tag in a fresh rider. Castro, in fatigues, jabs his way to every round.
Fair fight? Let Genghis tag in a fresh fighter at the end of each round, Yam-style. Castro then faces a relay of Mongols, and the size gap matters far less.
