Horatio Nelson vs Saddam Hussein: 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.
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.
Saddam Hussein
“The Ace of Spades” · Iraq · 1937–2006 · about 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)
President of Iraq from 1979 to 2003. Launched wars on Iran and Kuwait and brutally crushed opposition at home. Found hiding in a hole near Tikrit in 2003 and executed in 2006.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Nelson by DQ. Nelson, down an arm and an eye, just keeps walking forward and cracking Saddam's chin. Cornered and losing on the cards, the strongman who once crushed dissent at home tries the same trick in the ring — a stomp on the fallen admiral — and is disqualified.
Fair fight? Let Saddam send in one of his famous body doubles instead; the real one clearly isn't built for a stand-up fight.
