Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Audie Murphy
“To Hell and Back” · United States · 1925–1971 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 110 lb (50 kg)
The most decorated American soldier of the Second World War. Won the Medal of Honor at 19 by holding off a German company alone from atop a burning tank destroyer. Later a Hollywood star.
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 AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Murphy by TKO. Napoleon is 27 kg heavier, but he's an artillery officer who commands from horseback and once fled his own tame rabbits when they swarmed him. Murphy, who alone held off a German company atop a burning tank destroyer, just keeps advancing through every punch until Napoleon's corner throws in the towel.
Fair fight? A catchweight forcing Napoleon down near Murphy's 50 kg would erase his size edge and let Murphy's relentless aggression decide it clean.
