Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Barack Obama
“No Drama Obama” · United States · b. 1961 · 6′1″ (185 cm), 175 lb (79.4 kg)
44th President of the United States and commander-in-chief during the 2011 raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Serious pickup basketball player. A natural southpaw.
Theodore Roosevelt
“Teddy” · United States · 1858–1919 · about 5′10″ (178 cm), about 220 lb (100 kg)
Led the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill in 1898, then became the 26th US President. A keen boxer until a punch in a White House sparring session cost him the sight in his left eye.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Obama by TKO. Obama circles as a calm southpaw, planting jabs on Roosevelt's blind left eye all night while the heavier former Rough Rider keeps bulling straight ahead. By round three Roosevelt is a heavy bag with a mustache, and his corner throws the towel because the man himself never would.
Fair fight? Shrink the ring to cut off Obama's circling room, forcing a phone-booth brawl where Roosevelt's bulk and toughness finally matter.
