Audie Murphy vs Joseph Stalin: who would win in a fist fight?
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.
Joseph Stalin
“Uncle Joe” · Georgia / Soviet Union · 1878–1953 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 165 lb (75 kg)
Dictator of the Soviet Union from the 1920s until 1953. Led the USSR to victory over Nazi Germany while his purges, famines and labour camps killed millions. His left arm was stiff and shortened from childhood.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Murphy by DQ. Stalin is 25 kg heavier, but he has one stiff left arm, and Murphy has ignored being "too small" before. Frustrated in round three, the Tiflis bank-robbery alumnus tries a stomp and is disqualified. Murphy wins by DQ.
Fair fight? Put them in the same weight class, with Murphy bulking up or Stalin slimming down to 62 kg each. Then the ref only has to watch for illegal stomps, not a 25 kg mismatch.
