Abraham Lincoln 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.
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.
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.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Lincoln by TKO. Lincoln's extra 15 cm lets him stand off and pepper jabs at Roosevelt's blind left side all night, the same eye a White House sparring partner already ruined. Roosevelt keeps charging forward like San Juan Hill, but by round three his corner has seen enough and throws in the towel.
Fair fight? Make Roosevelt fight orbiting to Lincoln's right, or blindfold Lincoln's own left eye so neither man can see the other's weak side.
