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.
Ryu
“The Wandering Warrior” · Street Fighter · 1987 · 5′9″ (175 cm), 187 lb (85 kg)
Wandering martial artist who lives only for the next fight. Master of the Hadoken, which he has been asked to leave at home tonight.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Ryu by TKO. Grant stays perfectly calm, lights a cigar in his corner, and looks around for a horse to jump. There isn't one. Ryu, 24 kg heavier and still in the same white gi, lands a Shoryuken in round two, and the referee waves it off.
Fair fight? Turn it into a horseback high-jump contest, where Grant's West Point record gives him a real edge over a man who has only ever fought on foot.
