Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Winston Churchill
“The British Bulldog” · United Kingdom · 1874–1965 · about 5′6″ (168 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)
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.
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)
Churchill by DQ. Churchill, the 1892 British public schools fencing champion, circles to Roosevelt's blind left side and lunges in with jabs all round one. Frustrated, Teddy reaches for his White House judo and hip-throws him in round two. Throws are fouls, so Churchill wins by DQ, then asks for a nap.
Fair fight? Legalise throws for both fighters, so Roosevelt's judo habit stops costing him the fight and his 10 cm and 5 kg advantage finally counts.
