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.
George Washington
“Father of His Country” · United States · 1732–1799 · 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)

The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Washington by TKO. Washington, 18 cm taller and 20 kg heavier, picks Genghis apart with walnut-cracking hands. Genghis, a rider and archer with neither horse nor bow, can't close the gap. Midway through round two the referee steps in and stops it, Washington's ivory-and-human-tooth dentures still firmly in.
Fair fight? Move the bout to horseback on an open field, where Genghis has ridden since he was a small child. Washington was a famed horseman too, so at least it would be a contest.
