Winston Churchill

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.
Joseph Stalin
“Uncle Joe” · Georgia / Soviet Union · 1878–1953 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 165 lb (75 kg)
Dictator of the Soviet Union from the 1920s until 1953. Led the USSR to victory over Nazi Germany while his purges, famines and labour camps killed millions. His left arm was stiff and shortened from childhood.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Churchill by TKO. Churchill by TKO. Stalin's stiff left arm leaves him fighting one-handed, and the 20 kg heavier Churchill, a fencing champion who rode in a cavalry charge, simply advances. Stalin has nowhere to run and no bank to rob, so the referee stops it in round two.
Fair fight? Level the weights at 85 kg each. Stalin's stiff arm still hurts him, but at least he'd no longer be giving away 20 kg.
