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.
Solid Snake
“Iroquois Pliskin” · Metal Gear · 1987 · 6′0″ (182 cm), 165 lb (75 kg)
Legendary special-forces operative and a clone of the soldier Big Boss. Expert in close-quarters combat, infiltration and hiding in cardboard boxes.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Snake by TKO. Nelson signals that England expects, but Snake, 17 cm taller and 15 kg heavier, answers with close-quarters combat. The ring rolls like a deck in Nelson's famously seasick stomach, and the referee stops it in round two.
Fair fight? Make Snake fight with a cardboard box over his head, eyeholes optional, and give Nelson a 15 kg weight allowance in lead-lined boots to even the size gap.
