Seventeen-year-old boxer from the Bronx who punches his way up the rankings against opponents twice his size, coached by Doc Louis. Listed at 4′8″ and 107 lb in the original Punch-Out!!
Horatio Nelson
“Hero of the Nile” · United Kingdom · 1758–1805 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 132 lb (60 kg)
British admiral who destroyed the French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar in 1805 and died at the moment of victory. Fought on after losing the sight of one eye and most of his right arm.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Little Mac by TKO. Nelson is bigger, but Little Mac makes a living fighting opponents twice his size. In round two a Star Punch uppercut sets the ring pitching like a deck, and the famously seasick admiral wobbles. The referee stops it; England expected better.
Fair fight? Give Nelson three months of training with Doc Louis first. Being coached by a man on a bicycle still beats having no boxing coach at all.
