16th US President and commander-in-chief through the Civil War. As a young man, a feared frontier wrestler said to have lost only once in about 300 matches. In the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Benito Mussolini
“Il Duce” · Italy · 1883–1945 · about 5′7″ (169 cm), about 176 lb (80 kg)
Fascist dictator of Italy from 1922 to 1943 and Hitler’s ally in the Second World War. Deposed, rescued by German commandos, then captured and executed by Italian partisans in 1945.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Lincoln by TKO. Lincoln, 24 cm taller and 2 kg heavier, jabs from the outside all night while white-knuckling every wrestler's urge to grab a leg and pile-drive Il Duce into the canvas. Mussolini postures for the cameras between shots; his corner throws in the towel in round two.
Fair fight? Hold it at a harvest festival with Mussolini shirtless for the photographers — the ego boost might keep him upright past the opening bell.
