Cybernetically enhanced super-soldier who has saved humanity more than once. Fights in MJOLNIR powered armour, and his listed height and weight include it.
Miyamoto Musashi
“The Sword Saint” · Japan · c. 1584–1645 · about 5′11″ (180 cm), about 176 lb (80 kg)
Japanese swordsman who said he won all 61 of his duels, and author of The Book of Five Rings. Famously turned up late to his duel with Sasaki Kojirō and won with a wooden sword carved from an oar.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Master Chief by TKO. Musashi turns up late again, only to find his two-sword style downsized to two fists. John, 38 cm taller and 374 kg heavier, has trained since childhood and ends it in round one when the referee stops the fight. Musashi's 61 wins stay his own claim.
Fair fight? Let Musashi carve a wooden sword from an oar, as he did against Kojirō, and let him arrive as late as he likes.
