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.
Audie Murphy
“To Hell and Back” · United States · 1925–1971 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 110 lb (50 kg)
The most decorated American soldier of the Second World War. Won the Medal of Honor at 19 by holding off a German company alone from atop a burning tank destroyer. Later a Hollywood star.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Castro by TKO. Castro wins by TKO in round three. Murphy, rejected by the Marines and paratroopers for being too small, gets rejected by the scales again: he's 40 kg lighter. He keeps getting up, so the referee stops it out of mercy, and Castro celebrates in fatigues.
Fair fight? Make Castro fight on his knees. That shrinks the height gap and hands Murphy his favourite position: the underdog with a clear shot.
