Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Abraham Lincoln
“Honest Abe” · United States · 1809–1865 · 6′4″ (193 cm), about 181 lb (82 kg)
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.
Barack Obama
“No Drama Obama” · United States · b. 1961 · 6′1″ (185 cm), 175 lb (79.4 kg)
44th President of the United States and commander-in-chief during the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Serious pickup basketball player. A natural southpaw.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Obama by DQ. Obama peppers the bigger man with sharp southpaw jabs, using the footwork of a lifetime of pickup basketball to stay off the ropes. Frustrated and falling back on muscle memory from roughly 300 wrestling matches, Lincoln hip-tosses him in round two and is disqualified on the spot.
Fair fight? Hold it as a wrestling match instead of boxing—Lincoln's Hall of Fame grappling only becomes a liability under fists-only rules.
