Prime Minister who led Britain through the Second World War. Earlier a cavalry officer who rode in one of the last British cavalry charges and escaped from a Boer prisoner-of-war camp.
George S. Patton
“Old Blood and Guts” · United States · 1885–1945 · 6′2″ (188 cm), about 185 lb (84 kg)
US general whose Third Army tore across France in 1944. Competed in the first Olympic modern pentathlon in 1912, finishing fifth, and designed the US Army’s last cavalry sword.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Churchill by DQ. Patton, 20 cm taller, pokes at Churchill's brick-hardened frame all round one. In round two he reverts to the open-handed slap that earned him a 1943 reprimand, and the referee disqualifies him. Churchill, 11 kg heavier, wins by DQ and heads to his corner for a nap.
Fair fight? Tape Patton's gloves shut with the thumbs strapped down so slapping is impossible, letting his pentathlete legs and height win the fight on points.
