George Washington
“Father of His Country” · United States · 1732–1799 · 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)

The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Washington by TKO. Washington's 11-kilo edge and walnut-cracking grip are too much. Patton's pentathlon-honed footwork buys him the first round, but Washington's surveyor's patience and horseman's balance walk him down, pinning Patton on the ropes until the corner throws in the towel in round three.
Fair fight? Stretch it to five rounds so Patton's Olympic pentathlon conditioning can outlast Washington's early power before his own gas tank matters.
