Pikachu vs Saddam Hussein: 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.
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.
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)
Hussein by TKO. Stripped of every volt, Pikachu is just a 6 kg rodent trying to Quick Attack a 95 kg dictator's shins. Saddam, who built palaces to feel bigger than everyone, finally has an opponent smaller than his ego, and lands enough looping rights that Ash throws in the towel before round two ends.
Fair fight? Restore Pikachu's electric attacks so its cheeks count as legal weapons; one Thunderbolt turns this mismatch into a very short fight the other way.
