Machamp
“The Superpower Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 5′3″ (160 cm), 287 lb (130 kg)

The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Machamp by TKO. Machamp wins by TKO in round two. Knuckles, a repeat victim of Eggman's tricks, falls for every feint, and at 50 cm shorter his rock-smashing fists keep landing on the champion belt. The referee stops it when all four arms arrive together.
Fair fight? Tie two of Machamp's arms behind his back and give Knuckles a step stool, so his fists can reach something softer than the championship belt.
