Horatio Nelson
“Hero of the Nile” · United Kingdom · 1758–1805 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 132 lb (60 kg)
British admiral who destroyed the French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar in 1805 and died at the moment of victory. Fought on after losing the sight of one eye and most of his right arm.
Pikachu
“The Mouse Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 1′4″ (40 cm), 13 lb (6 kg)
Electric-type Pokémon and the face of the franchise. Stores electricity in its red cheeks and releases it as lightning. Fighting well below any recognised weight class.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Nelson by TKO. Pikachu's Quick Attack is fast, but it mostly ricochets off Nelson's shins, 125 cm below his chin. One left jab from the admiral, who only has the one arm, folds him in round two. The referee stops it. England expects, and so does the ref.
Fair fight? Make Pikachu 54 kg heavier and 125 cm taller, then rock the ring like a ship's deck so Nelson's seasickness finally gets a say.
