Napoléon Bonaparte vs Yoshi: 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.
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.
Yoshi
“T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas” · Nintendo · 1990 · about 5′3″ (160 cm), about 132 lb (60 kg)
Friendly green dinosaur and Mario’s loyal ride since Super Mario World. Swallows enemies whole with a long tongue and turns them into eggs. Nintendo has never published his measurements.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Napoleon by DQ. Napoléon, drilled in standing his ground under cannon fire, just squares up and takes his lumps. Yoshi, unable to resist old habits, flutter-jumps and ground-pounds the Emperor into the canvas—a stomp foul—and the referee disqualifies him instantly.
Fair fight? Ban flutter jumps and ground pounds entirely, restricting Yoshi to fists and kicks like everyone else.
