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.
Joseph Stalin
“Uncle Joe” · Georgia / Soviet Union · 1878–1953 · about 5′5″ (165 cm), about 165 lb (75 kg)
Dictator of the Soviet Union from the 1920s until 1953. Led the USSR to victory over Nazi Germany while his purges, famines and labour camps killed millions. His left arm was stiff and shortened from childhood.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Stalin by TKO. Neither has two fully working arms, so Stalin's extra weight decides it. The self-styled man of steel leans on Nelson while the one-eyed admiral keeps signalling "England expects" and refusing to fall, until the referee stops it in round three. Stalin by TKO.
Fair fight? Make Stalin cut the 15 kg weight gap, so both fight at 60 kg. Then Nelson's stubbornness could drag it to the scorecards.
