Genghis Khan
“The Great Khan” · Mongolia · c. 1162–1227 · about 5′7″ (170 cm), about 165 lb (75 kg)
Founder of the Mongol Empire, which grew into the largest contiguous land empire in history. Rose from an outcast childhood on the steppe to unite the Mongol tribes in 1206.
Mario
“Jumpman” · Nintendo · 1981 · about 5′1″ (155 cm), about 154 lb (70 kg)
Nintendo’s mascot plumber, first seen jumping barrels in Donkey Kong. Has stomped more turtles than anyone alive and can lift Bowser by the tail.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Genghis by DQ. Genghis Khan wins by DQ. Mario, 15 cm shorter, triple-jumps and stomps the Khan's head in round two, a habit he has practised on turtles for decades. Stomps are fouls, so the referee disqualifies him, and Temüjin leaves the ring dizzy but victorious.
Fair fight? Legalise stomps and ground-pounds for this bout. Then Mario's jumping gives him a real chance against a Khan who is 15 cm taller and 5 kg heavier.
