George Washington
“Father of His Country” · United States · 1732–1799 · 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)

The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Washington by DQ. Washington's walnut-cracking grip loads real power into his punches, and his 13-kg weight edge lets him shove the taller Lincoln around the ropes for two rounds. But old habits win out: muscle memory from nearly 300 wrestling bouts kicks in and Lincoln hip-tosses him, earning an instant disqualification.
Fair fight? Hold it as a wrestling match instead of a boxing bout, so Lincoln's takedowns count as offense instead of costing him the fight.
