Horatio Nelson vs Sonic: 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.
Sonic
“The Hedgehog” · Sega · 1991 · 3′3″ (100 cm), 77 lb (35 kg)
Sega’s blue hedgehog, running at the speed of sound since 1991. Attacks by curling into a spiky ball. Short temper, shorter attention span.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Nelson by TKO. Nelson wins by TKO. Sonic circles for a round, gets bored, and charges in headfirst. Nelson, 25 kg heavier, plants his one remaining fist and does his duty, just as England expected. The referee waves it off in round two.
Fair fight? Swap the ring for a running track and score on clean hits only. Sonic wins on points if he stays patient for nine minutes, which he won't.
