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 Washington
“Father of His Country” · United States · 1732–1799 · 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)
Commander of the Continental Army and first US President. Towered over most men of the 18th century and was famous for his strength, reportedly able to crack walnuts in his hand.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Washington by TKO. Washington, 15 cm taller and 34 kg heavier, cracks walnuts in his hand and treats Grant's ribs accordingly. Grant stays calm under fire, but calm is not a chin. In round two the referee stops it while Grant, still unbothered, asks for a cigar.
Fair fight? Swap the ring for a horseback high-jump contest. Grant's West Point record makes it his home turf, though Washington, one of the finest horsemen of his age, would still give him a proper race.
