Machamp

Fighting-type Pokémon with four muscular arms. Its punches can send an opponent clear over the horizon, but anything delicate gets its arms tangled.
Saddam Hussein
“The Ace of Spades” · Iraq · 1937–2006 · about 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)
President of Iraq from 1979 to 2003. Launched wars on Iran and Kuwait and brutally crushed opposition at home. Found hiding in a hole near Tikrit in 2003 and executed in 2006.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Machamp by TKO. No body double dares stand in for this one. Machamp opens with four fists at once, and a single haymaker sends Saddam clean over the top rope and out of the arena. Corner throws in the towel before round two starts.
Fair fight? Machamp's arms tangle on anything delicate, so hold the bout inside one of Saddam's crystal-chandeliered palace ballrooms to slow the swings.
