Zangief

The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Machamp by TKO. Zangief has bear-wrestling scars and is 53 cm taller, but he's facing four arms at once. Machamp, 14 kg heavier, throws punches from every angle while Zangief's dance steps run out of floor. The referee stops it in round two.
Fair fight? Tie two of Machamp's arms behind his back so it's a two-fisted brawl. Zangief's height advantage might then matter.
