Ulysses S. Grant vs Barack Obama: who would win in a fist fight?
Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
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.
Barack Obama
“No Drama Obama” · United States · b. 1961 · 6′1″ (185 cm), 175 lb (79.4 kg)
44th President of the United States and commander-in-chief during the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Serious pickup basketball player. A natural southpaw.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Obama by TKO. Obama, a southpaw who is 18 kg heavier, treats Grant like that fly from 2009. Grant stays calm and keeps advancing, but without a horse his high-jump talent clears nothing. The referee steps in during round three: TKO to Obama.
Fair fight? Move the venue to a horseback high-jump contest, where Grant's West Point record gives him a real edge. In the ring, Obama should fight with a 15 kg weight vest.
