Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
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.
Solid Snake
“Iroquois Pliskin” · Metal Gear · 1987 · 6′0″ (182 cm), 165 lb (75 kg)
Legendary special-forces operative and a clone of the soldier Big Boss. Expert in close-quarters combat, infiltration and hiding in cardboard boxes.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Roosevelt by DQ. Snake's close-quarters combat is mostly a list of fouls. Roosevelt, 25 kg heavier, walks him down through round one, and in round two Snake instinctively throws him and chokes him. The referee disqualifies Snake, who spends the walk back to his corner looking for a cardboard box.
Fair fight? Allow grappling for both, so Snake's close-quarters combat and Teddy's judo cancel out, and give Snake a proper conditioning camp away from cigarettes before the bout.
