Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Pikachu
“The Mouse Pokémon” · Pokémon · 1996 · 1′4″ (40 cm), 13 lb (6 kg)
Electric-type Pokémon and the face of the franchise. Stores electricity in its red cheeks and releases it as lightning. Fighting well below any recognised weight class.
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)
Pikachu by DQ. Roosevelt spends round one punching at knee height and finding only air, because Pikachu keeps zipping away with Quick Attack. In round two his White House judo habit kicks in and he hurls the 6 kg mouse across the ring. The referee disqualifies him. Pikachu wins by DQ.
Fair fight? Make Roosevelt fight on his knees so the 138 cm height gap shrinks, with a bell that rings whenever his hands drift toward a judo grip.
