Audie Murphy
“To Hell and Back” · United States · 1925–1971 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 110 lb (50 kg)

The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Churchill by TKO. Churchill wins by TKO. Murphy, turned down by the Marines and paratroopers for being too small, meets the same problem here: Churchill is 45 kg heavier and hits like a bricklayer. Murphy keeps getting up, so the referee stops it in round three.
Fair fight? Put them in the same weight class by adding 45 kg to Murphy. Then Churchill's fencing-champion footwork faces a man who once held off a whole German company alone.
