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.
George S. Patton
“Old Blood and Guts” · United States · 1885–1945 · 6′2″ (188 cm), about 185 lb (84 kg)
US general whose Third Army tore across France in 1944. Competed in the first Olympic modern pentathlon in 1912, finishing fifth, and designed the US Army’s last cavalry sword.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Patton by TKO. Patton, a 1912 Olympic pentathlete who is 23 cm taller and 34 kg heavier, wins by TKO in round two. Murphy, turned down by the Marines and paratroopers for being too small, refuses to stay down, so the referee stops it over his loud objections.
Fair fight? Match their weights by making Patton shed 34 kg before the bell. Murphy already has the heart; he just needs the mass, and Patton needs a very long lunch break.
