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.
George S. Patton
“Old Blood and Guts” · United States · 1885–1945 · 6′2″ (188 cm), about 185 lb (84 kg)
US general whose Third Army tore across France in 1944. Competed in the first Olympic modern pentathlon in 1912, finishing fifth, and designed the US Army’s last cavalry sword.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Patton by TKO. Grant stays perfectly calm as Patton, 15 cm taller and 23 kg heavier, walks through him. Calm doesn't stop a jab. Grant's cigar gets stubbed out in round two, and the referee waves it off after Patton's straight right leaves him unable to defend himself.
Fair fight? Give Grant a horse and a running start, or make Patton fight at 61 kg. Failing that, Patton must lose the pentathlon fitness and smoke a cigar for the whole bout.
