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.
Saddam Hussein
“The Ace of Spades” · Iraq · 1937–2006 · about 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)
President of Iraq from 1979 to 2003. Launched wars on Iran and Kuwait and brutally crushed opposition at home. Found hiding in a hole near Tikrit in 2003 and executed in 2006.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Churchill by TKO. Churchill's schoolboy fencing footwork and old cavalry-charge nerve let him stalk the 20cm taller Saddam around the ring, while Saddam — a man used to giving speeches, not taking punches — covers up and back-pedals into the ropes. By round two his corner throws in the towel.
Fair fight? Ban body doubles: no swapping Saddam out between rounds, and bolt every exit so he can't slip off to hide in a hole.
