Saddam Hussein vs Samus Aran: 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.
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.
Samus Aran
“The Hunter” · Metroid · 1986 · 6′3″ (190 cm), 198 lb (90 kg)
Galactic bounty hunter raised by the bird-like Chozo, who wipes out Metroids for a living. Nintendo lists 190 cm and 90 kg; fans still argue whether that includes the Power Suit.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Samus by Decision. Saddam spends three rounds backpedaling and covering up like he's back in that spider hole near Tikrit, while Samus - raised by the Chozo to hunt things far scarier than a deposed president - stalks forward and lands the cleaner, busier work. Judges score it wide for the bounty hunter.
Fair fight? Let Saddam send a body double out for the first two rounds to soften Samus up before the real man appears for round three.
