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.
Saddam Hussein
“The Ace of Spades” · Iraq · 1937–2006 · about 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)
President of Iraq from 1979 to 2003. Launched wars on Iran and Kuwait and brutally crushed opposition at home. Found hiding in a hole near Tikrit in 2003 and executed in 2006.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Patton by Decision. Patton comes out swinging like a man who thinks he's refought Carthage before, while Saddam spends three rounds backpedaling into the ropes and clinching. By round three he's essentially reenacting Tikrit, curled in a neutral corner. Judges score it for the general who actually showed up to fight.
Fair fight? Let Saddam send in one of his famous body doubles for round two — someone actually has to stand there and take Patton's punches.
