Audie Murphy
“To Hell and Back” · United States · 1925–1971 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 110 lb (50 kg)

The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Lincoln by TKO. Lincoln, 32 kg heavier, spends round one resisting the urge to throw Murphy, then jabs down from his 28 cm height advantage. Murphy keeps coming, but the referee stops it in round two, turning him down for being too small, just like the Marines and paratroopers did.
Fair fight? Make Lincoln fight on his knees, with his letter-stuffed stovepipe hat on. Murphy lied his way into the Army at 17, so he can handle a fight at eye level.
