Nazi dictator of Germany from 1933 to 1945. Started the Second World War in Europe and directed the Holocaust, the murder of six million Jews. Died by suicide in his Berlin bunker.
Miyamoto Musashi
“The Sword Saint” · Japan · c. 1584–1645 · about 5′11″ (180 cm), about 176 lb (80 kg)
Japanese swordsman who said he won all 61 of his duels, and author of The Book of Five Rings. Famously turned up late to his duel with Sasaki Kojirō and won with a wooden sword carved from an oar.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Musashi by Decision. Musashi arrives late, naturally, then finds a former dispatch runner who spends three rounds delivering nothing but distance. Musashi, 10 kg heavier and undefeated by his own account, walks him down and wins every round on the scorecards, without needing an oar.
Fair fight? Move the bout to a cross-country course; a former dispatch runner finally gets a venue suited to his cardio, though Musashi may still turn up late.
