"neural-chat" (a Mistral fine-tune, I think?) on Ollama leans toward Lincoln, but would not commit to it.

> "Considering their physical attributes, it would seem that Abraham Lincoln had a slight advantage due to his height and potentially greater weight. However, without knowing the exact circumstances or any combat skills of either individual, it is impossible to determine who would win in such a fight."

Personally, I'm 110% certain Lincoln would win, even if they were the same age at the time of the fight.

Pretty big knowledge miss actually - Lincoln's fighting skills were both legend and a matter of public record [1].

In his most famous, documented match -- for which some credit him with the invention of the "choke slam" [2] -- the man who would one day write the Gettysburg address challenged onlookers: "I'm the big buck of this lick. If any of you want to try it, come whet your horns."
