Kirby
“The Pink Puffball” · Nintendo · 1992 · 0′8″ (20 cm), about 4 lb (2 kg)
Round pink hero of Dream Land who inhales enemies and copies their powers. Officially about 20 cm tall, and far tougher than he looks.
Audie Murphy
“To Hell and Back” · United States · 1925–1971 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 110 lb (50 kg)
The most decorated American soldier of the Second World War. Won the Medal of Honor at 19 by holding off a German company alone from atop a burning tank destroyer. Later a Hollywood star.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Murphy by Decision. Turned down by the Marines and paratroopers for being too small, Murphy finally gets to be the big man. Kirby puffs up and bobs about for nine minutes, tough as ever, but Murphy's steady jabs win every round. Decision, unanimous.
Fair fight? Make Murphy fight on his knees with one hand tucked behind his back, so Kirby can actually hit his face and the judges have a real contest to score.
