Knuckles vs Theodore Roosevelt: 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.
Knuckles
“The Echidna” · Sega · 1994 · 3′7″ (110 cm), 88 lb (40 kg)
Guardian of the Master Emerald and the Sonic character built for punching. His spiked fists smash through rock.
Theodore Roosevelt
“Teddy” · United States · 1858–1919 · about 5′10″ (178 cm), about 220 lb (100 kg)
Led the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill in 1898, then became the 26th US President. A keen boxer until a punch in a White House sparring session cost him the sight in his left eye.

Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Knuckles by DQ. Roosevelt, 60 kg heavier, spends round two swatting at a hip-high echidna, then reflexively reaches for the judo he practised in the White House. One hip throw later, the referee disqualifies him. Knuckles wins by DQ, having mostly threatened to punch rocks near Roosevelt's shins.
Fair fight? Make Roosevelt fight from his knees, so his height edge shrinks and the judo temptation goes with it. Then Knuckles' spiked fists actually have to be dodged.
