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.
Joseph Stalin
“Uncle Joe” · Georgia / Soviet Union · 1878–1953 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 165 lb (75 kg)
Dictator of the Soviet Union from the 1920s until 1953. Led the USSR to victory over Nazi Germany while his purges, famines and labour camps killed millions. His left arm was stiff and shortened from childhood.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Hitmonchan by DQ. Hitmonchan wins by DQ. Punches faster than the eye can follow keep finding the self-styled "man of steel", whose stiff left arm guards only one side. In round two the former bank robber stomps a foot, and the referee disqualifies him.
Fair fight? Shrink the ring to a tiny square so Hitmonchan's speed has nowhere to go and Stalin's 25 kg advantage finally counts for something.
