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.
Little Mac
“The Kid from the Bronx” · Punch-Out!! · 1987 · 4′8″ (142 cm), 107 lb (48.5 kg)
Seventeen-year-old boxer from the Bronx who punches his way up the rankings against opponents twice his size, coached by Doc Louis. Listed at 4′8″ and 107 lb in the original Punch-Out!!
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Little Mac by TKO. Little Mac wins by TKO. Grant stays famously calm, which just means he calmly walks onto jabs from a trained teenage boxer. His record-setting jump needs a horse, and the ring has none. In round three a Star Punch lands and the referee steps in.
Fair fight? Make Grant spend a few months jogging behind Doc Louis's bicycle before the bout, so his boxing and stamina at least catch up with his height and weight advantage.
