Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Machamp
“The Superpower Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 5′3″ (160 cm), 287 lb (130 kg)
Fighting-type Pokémon with four muscular arms. Its punches can send an opponent clear over the horizon, but anything delicate gets its arms tangled.
Napoléon Bonaparte
“The Little Corporal” · France · 1769–1821 · 5′7″ (169 cm), about 170 lb (77 kg)
Emperor of the French who conquered much of Europe before his final defeat at Waterloo in 1815. Not actually short: about average for his time. The myth came from British cartoons and French inches.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Machamp by TKO. Machamp is 53 kg heavier and swings four arms at once; Napoleon's genius was cannons and columns, not covering up from a Fighting-type. The corner throws in the towel after a first-round barrage nobody trained for at artillery school.
Fair fight? Tie two of Machamp's arms behind its back, cutting him down to human-style two-fisted punching so Napoleon isn't outnumbered four to two.
