Benito Mussolini vs Barack Obama: 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.
Benito Mussolini
“Il Duce” · Italy · 1883–1945 · about 5′7″ (169 cm), about 176 lb (80 kg)
Fascist dictator of Italy from 1922 to 1943 and Hitler’s ally in the Second World War. Deposed, rescued by German commandos, then captured and executed by Italian partisans in 1945.
Barack Obama
“No Drama Obama” · United States · b. 1961 · 6′1″ (185 cm), 175 lb (79.4 kg)
44th President of the United States and commander-in-chief during the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Serious pickup basketball player. A natural southpaw.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Obama by DQ. Obama's 16-cm height edge and basketball-honed legs let him pepper Mussolini's harvest-photo torso with southpaw jabs for two rounds while circling out of danger. Unable to land anything, the frustrated Duce abandons boxing for a desperate bear-hug takedown, and the referee disqualifies him instantly.
Fair fight? Let Mussolini strike a bare-chested pose for the crowd before the bell; the ovation might actually get him to throw a real punch instead of a takedown.
