George S. Patton vs Theodore Roosevelt: 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.
George S. Patton
“Old Blood and Guts” · United States · 1885–1945 · 6′2″ (188 cm), about 185 lb (84 kg)
US general whose Third Army tore across France in 1944. Competed in the first Olympic modern pentathlon in 1912, finishing fifth, and designed the US Army’s last cavalry sword.
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)
Roosevelt by TKO. Patton jabs from 10 cm higher and circles Teddy's blind left side, but a man who finished a speech after being shot in the chest just keeps walking forward, 16 kg heavier. Round three, the referee stops it as Patton reaches for a sword that isn't there.
Fair fight? Trim Roosevelt down by 16 kg, or make round two a cross-country run, where Patton's pentathlon fitness would finally matter.
