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.
Samus Aran
“The Hunter” · Metroid · 1986 · 6′3″ (190 cm), 198 lb (90 kg)
Galactic bounty hunter raised by the bird-like Chozo, who wipes out Metroids for a living. Nintendo lists 190 cm and 90 kg; fans still argue whether that includes the Power Suit.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Samus by TKO. Murphy was rejected by the Marines and paratroopers for being too small, and the referee joins the list. Samus is 25 cm taller and 40 kg heavier, and the bout is stopped in round one. Murphy lied his way into the army, but the scale won't listen.
Fair fight? Make it a proper weight class: Samus fights 40 kg lighter, at Murphy's weight. He'd still be shorter, but at least he's no longer being rejected for size again.
