Hitmonchan vs Sonic: who would win in a fist fight?
Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Hitmonchan
“The Punching Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 4′7″ (140 cm), 111 lb (50.2 kg)
The boxing Pokémon. Throws punches faster than the eye can follow and is said to carry the spirit of a boxer who trained for a world title.
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)
Hitmonchan by TKO. Hitmonchan wins by TKO. Sonic's attention span barely survives the referee's instructions, so he curls up and charges straight into a counter from a Pokémon carrying a title-chasing boxer's spirit. He tries it again in round two, and the referee stops it.
Fair fight? Move the bout to a long, open running track, where Sonic gets a proper run-up and Hitmonchan has to chase him. That would cancel out the 15 kg and 40 cm gaps.
