Fidel Castro

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.
Mario
“Jumpman” · Nintendo · 1981 · about 5′1″ (155 cm), about 154 lb (70 kg)
Nintendo’s mascot plumber, first seen jumping barrels in Donkey Kong. Has stomped more turtles than anyone alive and can lift Bowser by the tail.

Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Castro by DQ. Mario, 36 cm shorter, triple-jumps in and stomps Castro's head, which is a foul. Castro, who survived more than 600 assassination plots by Cuban count, shrugs off a plumber. Mario tries a ground-pound in round two, and the referee disqualifies him.
Fair fight? Legalize stomps and ground-pounds, so Mario's entire career counts as a strategy, and give Castro a 20 kg weight cut to even the size gap.
