George S. Patton
“Old Blood and Guts” · United States · 1885–1945 · 6′2″ (188 cm), about 185 lb (84 kg)

The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Hitmonchan by TKO. Hitmonchan wins by TKO in round two. Patton lunges like the pentathlete he was in 1912, but a Pokémon whose punches outrun the eye keeps counter-jabbing his chin. The referee stops it while Patton is still insisting he fought harder opponents in past lives.
Fair fight? Move the bout to a modern pentathlon, where Patton finished fifth in 1912 and Hitmonchan has no obvious event. Patton gets the swimming, riding and fencing; Hitmonchan keeps the ring.
