Ryu vs George Washington: 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.
Ryu
“The Wandering Warrior” · Street Fighter · 1987 · 5′9″ (175 cm), 187 lb (85 kg)
Wandering martial artist who lives only for the next fight. Master of the Hadoken, which he has been asked to leave at home tonight.
George Washington
“Father of His Country” · United States · 1732–1799 · 6′2″ (188 cm), about 209 lb (95 kg)
Commander of the Continental Army and first US President. Towered over most men of the 18th century and was famous for his strength, reportedly able to crack walnuts in his hand.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Ryu by TKO. Washington can crack walnuts, but Ryu spent his whole life cracking opponents. The general's horsemanship and surveying skills never covered slipping a Tatsumaki spinning kick, and by round two his corner throws in the towel rather than watch more clean counters land.
Fair fight? Give Washington a few weeks of formal boxing lessons first; raw farmhand strength alone can't solve a lifetime martial artist's footwork.
