Kirby vs Saddam Hussein: 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.
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.
Saddam Hussein
“The Ace of Spades” · Iraq · 1937–2006 · about 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)
President of Iraq from 1979 to 2003. Launched wars on Iran and Kuwait and brutally crushed opposition at home. Found hiding in a hole near Tikrit in 2003 and executed in 2006.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Kirby by DQ. Saddam, 93 kg heavier, spends two rounds swinging at a puffed-up target bobbing near his knees. Frustrated, he stomps the headband-wearing Kirby in round three, and the referee disqualifies him. Even a body double couldn't take that DQ for him.
Fair fight? Make Saddam fight on his knees so Kirby is in punching range, and ban him from swinging downward. Then the only thing left to stomp is his own pride.
