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.
Sonic
“The Hedgehog” · Sega · 1991 · 3′3″ (100 cm), 77 lb (35 kg)
Sega’s blue hedgehog, running at the speed of sound since 1991. Attacks by curling into a spiky ball. Short temper, shorter attention span.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Grant by Decision. Sonic takes round one in a blur, then starts tapping his foot at Grant's unhurried advance and drifts toward the ropes thinking about chili dogs. Grant, 26 kg heavier and never rattled, banks the later rounds with tidy jabs and wins a unanimous decision.
Fair fight? Shorten the rounds to 30 seconds each, so Sonic's attention span lasts the whole fight and his speed isn't wasted on foot-tapping.
