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.
Saddam Hussein
“The Ace of Spades” · Iraq · 1937–2006 · about 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)

Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Genghis by DQ. Saddam, 18 cm taller and 20 kg heavier, banks the first two rounds against a Genghis with no horse. Before round three, a suspiciously fresh body double climbs through the ropes. The referee counts two Saddams, disqualifies the lot, and the Great Khan wins by DQ.
Fair fight? Put them in the same weight class, and fingerprint Saddam at the weigh-in so the body double stays home.
