Master Chief

Cybernetically enhanced super-soldier who has saved humanity more than once. Fights in MJOLNIR powered armour, and his listed height and weight include it.
Machamp
“The Superpower Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 5′3″ (160 cm), 287 lb (130 kg)
Fighting-type Pokémon with four muscular arms. Its punches can send an opponent clear over the horizon, but anything delicate gets its arms tangled.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Machamp by TKO. Machamp's punches can send opponents over the horizon, so being 324 kg heavier only buys John a longer flight. In round two the referee stops it because the challenger is no longer visible from the ring. Chief's post-fight interview is, as ever, a thoughtful silence.
Fair fight? Restrict Machamp to two arms, and hold the bout in a roofed arena with a wall behind the ropes so nobody can be launched past the horizon.
