Fidel Castro 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.
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.
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)
Roosevelt by TKO. Roosevelt wins by TKO. Castro's baseball arm and 13 cm height edge land some early jabs, but a man who finished an 84-minute speech with a bullet in his chest just keeps walking forward. In round two, the referee steps in.
Fair fight? Trim Roosevelt down by 10 kg so both weigh in level, and Castro's height advantage finally gets to matter.
