Ulysses S. Grant
“Unconditional Surrender” · United States · 1822–1885 · 5′8″ (173 cm), about 134 lb (61 kg)
Union general who won the American Civil War, then 18th US President. Slight of build, a superb horseman, and famously calm under fire.
Adolf Hitler
“The Bohemian Corporal” · Austria / Germany · 1889–1945 · about 5′9″ (175 cm), about 154 lb (70 kg)
Nazi dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945. Started the Second World War in Europe and directed the Holocaust, the murder of six million Jews. Died by suicide in his Berlin bunker.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Grant by TKO. Grant lights a cigar in the corner, stays calm under fire, and waits. Hitler, a teetotal vegetarian who last ran dispatches, is 9 kg heavier but swings wildly and tires. Grant grinds him down, and the referee stops it in round three.
Fair fight? Make Grant fight from horseback while Hitler stays on foot, or let Grant keep his cigar and add a stool. Otherwise the calm one just outlasts the rest.
