I would like to see someone with a boxer’s background handicap this fight. Abe’s got the reach and I believe he was a fighter, but teddy has the “rocky” brawler look about him….

Might as well throw G. Washington in the mix. Guy was quite the wrestler.

I got George. Lincoln was a tall stick, while teddy was an asthmatic. If I recall correctly George’s clothes ordered from England in his prime were for someone 6’-6’2” likely a natural 180.

He somehow managed to fall into a freezing Pennsylvania river while Indians were chasing him and the guy with him ended up with frostbite
