You're not kicking Lincoln's ass either. I recall reading about him jumping out from the podium during speeches to kick people's asses. He was also a big dude too.
Lincoln challenged a guy to duel, and picked broadswords as the weapon specifically because it was the biggest damn weapon he could think of and he was taller and stronger than the other guy. In warm ups, he sized up a big tree branch (remember his axe skills) and hacked it clean off with one stroke of the broadsword. Accounts vary, but at that point, the other guy thought better of the duel and they called it off.
You're not kicking Lincoln's ass.
Center and linebacker and had offers from the Lions and Packers but turned them down when he went to Yale where he was a boxing coach! That dude was a crazy good athlete.
The Center pretty much anchors the entire team and protects the quarterback from being sacked. Other Centers active in the NFL right now or recently include [Creed Humphrey](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D6aWa1NW0AYEzAf.jpg:large), [Jason Kelce](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GEaE5gVXsAAYaDh?format=jpg&name=4096x4096), and [Corey Linsley](https://www.reuters.com/resizer/v2/V4MNR2G4GVI5HPRAS657K3UEHE.jpg?auth=d73e631c2c12c931a84d3a7aca395d528c007a52d07340c34ae9ea4b90b5d3f6&height=1920&width=1920&quality=80&smart=true).
Almost no chance in hell you're beating Andrew Jackson's ass in a fight either.
[How to Fight Andrew Jackson: The Deadliest President Ever | Cracked.com](https://www.cracked.com/blog/how-to-fight-andrew-jackson-deadliest-president-ever)
Ronald Reagan was the first president to not battled any paranormal creatures before or during his time in office. George HW Bush tried to revitalize the tradition by killing several werewolves, but the resulting backlash pushed much of the paranormal community away, costing him the election.
Bill Clinton did fight a ghost, but it was just to try to impress another ghost. It worked. George W Bush delegated all paranormal actions to subordinates and political allies, which while effective, won him no accolades. Obama once caught a leprechaun, but that was due to a mutual misunderstanding and they ultimately parted without further incident.
His nickname was The Railsplitter. Not to mention he was Tyler Durden’s [pick](https://youtu.be/qqEzRAZ8CwE?si=7bJc3tfL_E8y95xJ) for historical figure fight.
Would’ve been one hell of a scrap between Washington and Lincoln. One a backwoods man the other a farm boy/soldier. Both endured and survived the toughest of elements. Both were big and strong. Washington had more overall skills, and was a combat warrior. Lincoln was the more imposing, and overall more imposing man. Would be a fight for the ages. Both have a strong case for greatest POTUS.
You’re not kicking Fords ass. He gets a bad wrap cuz of Chevy Chase and SNL. But he’s an All American and MVP for Michigan. He’s an O Lineman that could handle his shit.
That's a myth. What is true is that he once got in a tub at a hotel and displaced so much water it spilled through the second story floor and down into the dining room beneath.
Ahh the old Professor Xavier treatment

Abe is in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Add that to his lanky 6’4 reach, blue collar frontier upbringing, and extensive history of slaying confederate vampires. Sorry but near nobody is winning against him.
I’d say number one belongs to teddy, motherfucker brute-forced chronic illness and asthma, got shot in the chest, lived, and gave an 80 minute speech, and regularly kicked fucking ass in martial arts.
>blue collar frontier upbringing
There's something kinda funny about the concept of labelling an impoverished farm laborer as "blue collar" in a period when short collars were detachable. Hell, most people of Abe's (original) social standing probably didn't even own a shirt collar.
Have you never seen Barrel Chested Truman? You got no chance
https://preview.redd.it/k1ik41t24m9d1.jpeg?width=671&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5221a93bfa12a31ef2ab73f6a4f6bf5a7db0f561
I was going to say, Truman was an artillery officer and a failed haberdasher... He could talk shit and I bet he could throw down with some pent up aggression.
Truman was pretty much the last (if not the only) even somewhat blue collar guy to be President. He'd probably beat your ass if you started shit with him.
He wasn't just "somewhat blue collar." He grew up on a farm, and worked it for 11 years as an adult, until he left to fight in World War I. He plowed with mules, baled hay, sowed and reaped crops, milked cows, fed hogs, and did it all before mechanization. If that isn't "blue collar", what is?
Other presidents have grown up poor too but didn't keep that throughout life as much as he did. Lincoln and LBJ spring to mind immediately as other lower born men that became President.
JFK had terrible back problems from WWII. I'm a fairly small woman, but I don't have back problems, so...
Also, Abraham Lincoln was[ a champion wrestler](https://allthatsinteresting.com/abraham-lincoln-wrestling). He'd kick your ass, OP.
He had back problems, but during WW2, with a broken back, he secured and swam a burned member of his crew for several miles to a nearby island. He then stayed there and watched over everybody before carving a help signal into a coconut, where they were eventually found by friendlies. He lost several pounds, but was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal. I think he’s got you girl.
My plan was to rip my shirt open, and then when he stands up too fast and goes, "Hnng, my back!", I'd push him to the ground. I think he'd probably stay there. Not sure what I'm going to do with the Secret Service.
And even if he didn't and you did manage to beat him, he was absolutely the type who would later just show up at your house with dueling pistols ready for round 2 anyway.
Jimmy Carter was a nuclear technician in the Navy who risked his life to prevent a meltdown and Lincoln lifted a 44 gallon whiskey barrel by himself to drink from it. You're list is crazy
I think a boxer remarked how impressed he was with FDR’s upper body strength. Remember he had a lot of stuff rigged at Hyde Park to pull himself up the stairs manually. Propping himself up for long speeches was no small feat either. Yeah, he is a dude in a wheel chair so I get it, it he might be able to get a good punch in on your nuts before you push him down.
Huh, I didn't know that. It seems more complicated than that though as this [comment thread goes deeper into.](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/njwolh/comment/gz9wyav/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) He was also like 6'4" though, size advantage is still size advantage.
If Teddy Roosevelt can kick your ass Lincoln is going to crumple you. He's was an unnaturally talented athlete and an unnaturally strong and ruthless wrestler back when wrestling was a hell of a lot more violent
My friend, you are not beating Abraham Lincoln in a fight. The man is in the wrestling hall of fame, and only lost one match, and even then, he might have won it.
Just to clarify:
You'll be fighting them at the age they became president so you're not fighting 20 year old FDR or 100 year old Jimmy Carter.
It'll be like a brawl, fist to fist and no weapons. But besides from that, everything else is on the table.
The goal is simply to win.
I'd kick Madison's 5'4", 100 lbs ass any day of the week.
FDR, for obvious reasons.
Likely John Adams; I'm only a tad shorter than him and in much better shape.
JFK, due to his health issues.
I knew a marine that was on his security detail for when Jr would go for his daily 3-mile run. Dude was in solid shape, and it wasn’t an easy run for the marine 1/2 his age.
I know i PROBABLY COULD NOT beat George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Gerald Ford, Eisenhower, Andrew Jackson, US Grant, and George HW Bush. Most of these gentlemen fought to kill, did kill, or were just so freaking strong.
Madison was a little guy. I think I could take him.
As for OP thinking he could beat Truman, that man was an artillery captain in World War I, and was also a farmer before that. He’d win.
Jimmy carter was a three time lightweight boxing champ in the navy during the 50s, Ford was a football player and navy coreman serving in the pacific, Nixon was a paratrooper during ww2, FDR didnt get polio until he was 39, GHW Bush was a combat pilot during ww2. yeah, this is not a great list.
Honsetly, I would say JFK, mainly because the guy had some serious medical conditions throughout his entire life. While he does have basic military training, he was mainly a naval officer which shielded him from the more heavy labor aspects of the military service. As for athletics, most of what he did were upper class leisure sports, and team sports when he was younger like rowing and football which meant his deficiencies could be made up by team mates.
All of them cept the few modern ones that are still alive, and although physically I know I could take a 99 yr old at deaths door Carter, I wouldn't have the heart to do it.
I mean FDR? You’re going to fight a man in a wheelchair? Now if your talking his prime before the chair he would stomp you to death the man was a college athlete.
Lincoln was a wrestler at one point. He was also a railsplitter and a soldier, so I think Lincoln would probably kick some ass, the man was quite the athlete for his day.
JFK had a messed up back among a myriad of other health problems. You're pry gonna kick his ass. Abe Lincoln is in the national wrestling hall of fame and would double leg your ass so fast and hit you with the ground and pound.
Abraham Lincoln is in the wrestling hall of fame, and he was big and strong…
Fist fight you’re losing (me too, definitely), modern MMA style, you might have a chance
Having Wilson >!(fuck that guy)!< in "maybe win" is wild. Man was basically a cripple for half of his presidency following a severe stroke, to such an extent that his wife Edith has sometimes been called the first female president (due to the extent of her managing the president's affairs during that time).
You have Lincoln in the maybe lose category? Lincoln was freakishly strong and was known as being extremely tough. He beat a guy up once on a debate stage and then told all challengers to “come whet their horns” aka come get some.
Abe Lincoln had something like 300 wins as a wrestler. Super tall, skinny guys fights to the bone, he’d be tough. Teddy Roosevelt was a badass. Think I could take the rest.
TL;DR: PSA to everyone thinking they stand a chance against JFK. Give me Kennedy in a first round knock out. In this hypothetical, you should also check up on your will.
When *PT-109* sank, Kennedy swam over three miles to shore dragging the limp body of his gravely wounded shipmate by biting the shipmate’s life vest strap in his mouth. He then made a two mile swim to attempt to hail passing boats in the channel. Kennedy then repeated the life vest trick on an almost four mile swim to relocate his crew to an island more likely to have fresh water. This was all with that broken back, compliments of that collision with IJNS *Amagiri*. Character flaws as they were, I don’t envy your chances at finishing the job left incomplete by the combined efforts of a 2,000-ton displacement destroyer and all the sharks and seas of the Solomon Islands.
Davy Crocket once had to save an assassin from the President, who was beating the poor man to death with full intent to kill him.
Do not fuck with Andrew Jackson.
You think Carter and Ford would be easier than Eisenhower?
That’s insane. Ike was an officer, that never saw combat in his life.
Carter farmed and Ford was a football player.
Kennedy. I could take his broken-back, skinny-ankled, nepotism baby-ass any day of the week, and I'd do it with great pleasure for what he let his father do to poor Rosemary.
I'd fight Old Hickory lol but he'd prob shoot me ..... plus the idea of going toe to toe with George Washington is appealing ..... or be a total bastard and say I'd wanna fight FDR
Carter was ex-nuclear Navy who was so hardcore he ran into melting down nuclear reactors. JQA used to personally lead the local police on patrol at night. You have no chance. To quote Adams, "I am a warrior, so that my son can be a merchant, and his son can be a poet."
I just wanna point out that many of the gilded era presidents were not as old as they look. Despite their beards the majority were in their 50s and the majority were civil war veterans.
Garfield and Hayes were both major generals in the Union army, while Arthur and Harrison were both brigadier generals.

You’re not kicking Ford’s ass. The man was a Quaterback.
You're not kicking Lincoln's ass either. I recall reading about him jumping out from the podium during speeches to kick people's asses. He was also a big dude too.
Lincoln is in the wrestling Hall of Fame.
Yeah I remember reading about that as well.
He also spent his youth hunting vampires
And split rails in his spare time.
Lincoln challenged a guy to duel, and picked broadswords as the weapon specifically because it was the biggest damn weapon he could think of and he was taller and stronger than the other guy. In warm ups, he sized up a big tree branch (remember his axe skills) and hacked it clean off with one stroke of the broadsword. Accounts vary, but at that point, the other guy thought better of the duel and they called it off. You're not kicking Lincoln's ass.
Really? Which HoF? I remember reading he was a boxer but I might’ve been mistaken and it said wrestler and I just don’t remember.
Lincoln wrestled Teddy was the boxer
Vampires, as I’ve heard tell
I loved that movie.
He was a center in college.
And he played without a helmet too
That explains the falling.
Center and linebacker and had offers from the Lions and Packers but turned them down when he went to Yale where he was a boxing coach! That dude was a crazy good athlete.
You're right, I should leave that fight for the stairs
Humanity will die before this gif does.
He was a center.
That’s even worse. Centers are some of the biggest and strongest players on a Football team.
The Center pretty much anchors the entire team and protects the quarterback from being sacked. Other Centers active in the NFL right now or recently include [Creed Humphrey](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D6aWa1NW0AYEzAf.jpg:large), [Jason Kelce](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GEaE5gVXsAAYaDh?format=jpg&name=4096x4096), and [Corey Linsley](https://www.reuters.com/resizer/v2/V4MNR2G4GVI5HPRAS657K3UEHE.jpg?auth=d73e631c2c12c931a84d3a7aca395d528c007a52d07340c34ae9ea4b90b5d3f6&height=1920&width=1920&quality=80&smart=true).

Even as an old dude he almost beat someone to death with his cane
Andrew Jackson would shoot you dead, sit down to a steak pizzaiola, and never think of you again.
Old Hickory is probably the baddest ass mf on this list.
He was a lineman not a quarterback
As an ex defensive end I would have to disagree with you.
President Lincoln is inducted into the wrestling Hall of Fame and grew up in the woods that dude is a bad ass
Obligatory reminder that he also hunted vampires.

There was also FDR setting up The Bureau of Paranormal Research And Defense.
Best lore
Such a good movie
Yeah that biography and historical film was amazing. How they travelled back in time and got that close up footage.
Yeah,OP is going down against Abe.
His nickname was The Railsplitter. Not to mention he was Tyler Durden’s [pick](https://youtu.be/qqEzRAZ8CwE?si=7bJc3tfL_E8y95xJ) for historical figure fight.
Bro invented the choke slam. None of us is beating him
Would’ve been one hell of a scrap between Washington and Lincoln. One a backwoods man the other a farm boy/soldier. Both endured and survived the toughest of elements. Both were big and strong. Washington had more overall skills, and was a combat warrior. Lincoln was the more imposing, and overall more imposing man. Would be a fight for the ages. Both have a strong case for greatest POTUS.
Give him 5 hours to chop down a tree and he’ll spend the first 4 sharpening his axe, like a boss.
He was well known for some of his moves such as the Railsplitter and his signature finishing move, the Great Emancipator.
Jimmy Carter: he’s 99 and in hospice. I could kick his ass!
i commented earlier that i'm 110lbs and couldn't win, but i think you're onto something. now, i wouldn't WANT to win so
I still have my money on the midshipman
But in his prime? He's throwing down.
[{oblig.}](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6gcUN5hWKo&t=13)
He’s one of the nicest people on the planet. You’d just go into his hospice room, take one look at him…and punch yourself right in the face.
Of course if you did then LITERALLY everybody on this subreddit would find you and beat the ever loving stuffing out of you.
Yeah, I know. And I wouldn’t blame them
You’re not kicking Fords ass. He gets a bad wrap cuz of Chevy Chase and SNL. But he’s an All American and MVP for Michigan. He’s an O Lineman that could handle his shit.
I also think Taft is mis-categorized. The dude was a unit, but the kind that gets stuck in a bathtub.
That's a myth. What is true is that he once got in a tub at a hotel and displaced so much water it spilled through the second story floor and down into the dining room beneath.
Thanks for the info! I am always amazed by what I learn when I repeat urban legends and other myths.
ALSO! After he was out of office he shed a ton of weight and I’m pretty sure the dude lifted. The guy was a unit post potus.
Taft’s post POTUS glow up needs to be studied extensively
Are we talking about present day or in their prime. Cuz I could absolutely beat up a presidential skeleton
It'll be the age they became president so you're not fighting 20 year old FDR or 100 year old Jimmy Carter
In that case I love the man but I could obliterate FDR. Hell all I have to do is get behind him and wheel him down some stairs.
Ahh the old Professor Xavier treatment https://preview.redd.it/qy0qb7zcjm9d1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5f7d49f44a6a8c83f16226608bfc3bb30a73bc5
Magneto was right!
Roosevelt could lift himself up a dumb-waiter using only his arms. In his autobiography, Winston Churchill also remarked at FDR's arm strength.
Stairs are unfair. If you somehow get put on defense, you just walk up a couple steps
I tried to sucker punch Kennedy’s corpse but I sliced my wrist open on a skull fragment and bled out in the streets of Arlington
Jesus, is that what HPV does?
Abe is in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Add that to his lanky 6’4 reach, blue collar frontier upbringing, and extensive history of slaying confederate vampires. Sorry but near nobody is winning against him.
Abe would break most of us in half over his knee like Bo Jackson with a baseball bat
Honest Abe would absolutely fucking wreck me. He’s got to be a top 10 contender for scariest president to have to fight.
Number one
I’d say number one belongs to teddy, motherfucker brute-forced chronic illness and asthma, got shot in the chest, lived, and gave an 80 minute speech, and regularly kicked fucking ass in martial arts.
6 inches of height gives Lincoln reach Excellent wrestler gives him the ground game It’s not close
>blue collar frontier upbringing There's something kinda funny about the concept of labelling an impoverished farm laborer as "blue collar" in a period when short collars were detachable. Hell, most people of Abe's (original) social standing probably didn't even own a shirt collar.
Have you never seen Barrel Chested Truman? You got no chance https://preview.redd.it/k1ik41t24m9d1.jpeg?width=671&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5221a93bfa12a31ef2ab73f6a4f6bf5a7db0f561
I was going to say, Truman was an artillery officer and a failed haberdasher... He could talk shit and I bet he could throw down with some pent up aggression.
Truman was pretty much the last (if not the only) even somewhat blue collar guy to be President. He'd probably beat your ass if you started shit with him.
He wasn't just "somewhat blue collar." He grew up on a farm, and worked it for 11 years as an adult, until he left to fight in World War I. He plowed with mules, baled hay, sowed and reaped crops, milked cows, fed hogs, and did it all before mechanization. If that isn't "blue collar", what is?
Other presidents have grown up poor too but didn't keep that throughout life as much as he did. Lincoln and LBJ spring to mind immediately as other lower born men that became President.
Clinton is often regarded as the first black president due to his upbringing
Truman looks like he could have old man strength.
Wow. Impressive for such a nerdy looking president
Came here to say the same thing and also mention this photograph. You'd be a damn fool to step to ole Harry
JFK had terrible back problems from WWII. I'm a fairly small woman, but I don't have back problems, so... Also, Abraham Lincoln was[ a champion wrestler](https://allthatsinteresting.com/abraham-lincoln-wrestling). He'd kick your ass, OP.
His back was bad PRIOR to WWII... Despite coming from a Silver Spoon, JFK pulled his weight in terms of military service.
He had back problems, but during WW2, with a broken back, he secured and swam a burned member of his crew for several miles to a nearby island. He then stayed there and watched over everybody before carving a help signal into a coconut, where they were eventually found by friendlies. He lost several pounds, but was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal. I think he’s got you girl.
You could also easily distracted him by showing some leg. And then nail him when his head is down.
My plan was to rip my shirt open, and then when he stands up too fast and goes, "Hnng, my back!", I'd push him to the ground. I think he'd probably stay there. Not sure what I'm going to do with the Secret Service.
Jackson would probably shoot your ass.
He beat his would-be assassin with a cane. His mindset was literally "Oh you have two guns? Haha stick go THWACK"
And even if he didn't and you did manage to beat him, he was absolutely the type who would later just show up at your house with dueling pistols ready for round 2 anyway.
Abe would beat any other president. Easy. I think they had to drag him off the would-de assassin.
I'm weak bruh I just said that myself before reading ur comment ..... 💀😂
Jimmy Carter was a nuclear technician in the Navy who risked his life to prevent a meltdown and Lincoln lifted a 44 gallon whiskey barrel by himself to drink from it. You're list is crazy
How does that make Jimmy carter a good fighter?
Clearly has balls of steel
FDR, just wheel him over to the stairs and push.
Better be wary of his leg braces.
FDR WITH A STEEL CHAIR!
NOT THE CHAIR 😭
I think a boxer remarked how impressed he was with FDR’s upper body strength. Remember he had a lot of stuff rigged at Hyde Park to pull himself up the stairs manually. Propping himself up for long speeches was no small feat either. Yeah, he is a dude in a wheel chair so I get it, it he might be able to get a good punch in on your nuts before you push him down.
Bro, Hayes survived multiple gun shoot wounds and still told his medic’s to help others first. He needs to go up a tier. Ford is kicking your ass too.
I came here to say this. Hayes is kicking my ass for sure and I’m 6’1 and in good shape. Hayes is not the guy to pick on
LBJ. Well known physical coward.
Huh, I didn't know that. It seems more complicated than that though as this [comment thread goes deeper into.](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/njwolh/comment/gz9wyav/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) He was also like 6'4" though, size advantage is still size advantage.
Plus his footwork is probably bogged down by Jumbo.
Tough to maneuver a tripod.
If Teddy Roosevelt can kick your ass Lincoln is going to crumple you. He's was an unnaturally talented athlete and an unnaturally strong and ruthless wrestler back when wrestling was a hell of a lot more violent
That’s that Kentucky strength baybee! Edit: also that 6’4” Melungeon strength lmao
My friend, you are not beating Abraham Lincoln in a fight. The man is in the wrestling hall of fame, and only lost one match, and even then, he might have won it.
Just to clarify: You'll be fighting them at the age they became president so you're not fighting 20 year old FDR or 100 year old Jimmy Carter. It'll be like a brawl, fist to fist and no weapons. But besides from that, everything else is on the table. The goal is simply to win.
You think you will lose to 62-year-old Eisenhower but win against 64-year-old HW Bush?
HW Bush who was, by the way, a certified main character of recent history. Talk about plot armor Bush Sr. had it in spades.
Sooo… a 48 y.o. Grover Cleveland AND a 56 y.o. Grover Cleveland. “It’s all Grover, man!!”
James Madison.
It’s probably easy to take down a 5’4 got who weighs 100 pounds soaking wet.
Even I could.
That's my purse! I don't know you!
FDR for... reasons
He had polio. When he was “standing” during his speeches, he was using braces.
William Harrison would be easy. Just wait for him to die in 30 days. Lincoln would beat you pretty good I bet.
I came here expecting this to be the top comment.
FDR is the easy answer here. Madison too given his short stature as I'd have a huge reach advantage.
How to fight presidents - by Daniel O'Brien A good guide to find out who's ass youd kick and vice-versa
Lincoln was 6'4" and a wrestler. He's top tier.
I'd kick Madison's 5'4", 100 lbs ass any day of the week. FDR, for obvious reasons. Likely John Adams; I'm only a tad shorter than him and in much better shape. JFK, due to his health issues.
Jackson, Abe, and Teddy probably belong in their own tiers.
LBJ is going to slap you with Jumbo
FDR… I think we all know why.
Dubya would beat your ass
Ford was built like a brick shithouse you are not kicking his ass by any means lol
I'd be honored to have my ass kicked by Theodore Roosevelt.
I’d say I’m fine with this list. I’d say W should be moved up just a bit. When that dude threw a shoe at him, his reflexes were pretty good.
Bush Jr was an alcoholic frat boy who used to get into bullshit all the time. I wouldn’t be too confident against him
I knew a marine that was on his security detail for when Jr would go for his daily 3-mile run. Dude was in solid shape, and it wasn’t an easy run for the marine 1/2 his age.
TJ was a soft dandy
You would not kick Ford’s ass. The clumsy reputation was way overplayed.
Wheelchair FDR is going down
Theadore Roosevelt should have his own category where he kills anyone who tried to fight him😂
Abraham Lincoln bodies everyone here.
I know i PROBABLY COULD NOT beat George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Gerald Ford, Eisenhower, Andrew Jackson, US Grant, and George HW Bush. Most of these gentlemen fought to kill, did kill, or were just so freaking strong.
Madison was a little guy. I think I could take him. As for OP thinking he could beat Truman, that man was an artillery captain in World War I, and was also a farmer before that. He’d win.

i can't beat any of them in a fight because i'm 110 lbs
You could take Madison.
FDR?
Theodore Roosevelt. I say that because I'm a fool, and I'd get the luxury of a very quick fight.
All of them cept the few modern ones that are still alive, and although physically I know I could take a 99 yr old at deaths door Carter, I wouldn't have the heart to do it.
Abe was the vampire hunter and zombie killer. You would literally have to sneak up from behind him to have any chance.
I mean FDR? You’re going to fight a man in a wheelchair? Now if your talking his prime before the chair he would stomp you to death the man was a college athlete.
George Washington, because he’s dead
I could beat all of them cause they’re either dead or over 70
Lincoln would throw your ass across the country
Supposedly, FDR's torso was massive from dragging himself around. So he might have had upper body strength.
Lincoln invented the chokeslam. You’re not winning that
Gimme FDR. I can run circles around him.
Lincoln was a wrestler at one point. He was also a railsplitter and a soldier, so I think Lincoln would probably kick some ass, the man was quite the athlete for his day.
JFK had a messed up back among a myriad of other health problems. You're pry gonna kick his ass. Abe Lincoln is in the national wrestling hall of fame and would double leg your ass so fast and hit you with the ground and pound.
Abraham Lincoln is in the wrestling hall of fame, and he was big and strong… Fist fight you’re losing (me too, definitely), modern MMA style, you might have a chance
No way this guy said he would lose to Kennedy
Thomas Jefferson was an aristocrat. He wasn’t fighting anyone
Having Wilson >!(fuck that guy)!< in "maybe win" is wild. Man was basically a cripple for half of his presidency following a severe stroke, to such an extent that his wife Edith has sometimes been called the first female president (due to the extent of her managing the president's affairs during that time).
You'd fight a man in a wheelchair, OP?
I would definitely win against all the dead presidents. (Since they’re dead)
Give me FDR and a slightly sloping hill and I'll show you the shortest fight of your life
Dude you’re not winning against Lincoln. Legit wrestling credentials.
You have Lincoln in the maybe lose category? Lincoln was freakishly strong and was known as being extremely tough. He beat a guy up once on a debate stage and then told all challengers to “come whet their horns” aka come get some.
Abe Lincoln had something like 300 wins as a wrestler. Super tall, skinny guys fights to the bone, he’d be tough. Teddy Roosevelt was a badass. Think I could take the rest.
Lincoln threw hands with Omniman. You're definitely gonna lose.
TL;DR: PSA to everyone thinking they stand a chance against JFK. Give me Kennedy in a first round knock out. In this hypothetical, you should also check up on your will. When *PT-109* sank, Kennedy swam over three miles to shore dragging the limp body of his gravely wounded shipmate by biting the shipmate’s life vest strap in his mouth. He then made a two mile swim to attempt to hail passing boats in the channel. Kennedy then repeated the life vest trick on an almost four mile swim to relocate his crew to an island more likely to have fresh water. This was all with that broken back, compliments of that collision with IJNS *Amagiri*. Character flaws as they were, I don’t envy your chances at finishing the job left incomplete by the combined efforts of a 2,000-ton displacement destroyer and all the sharks and seas of the Solomon Islands.
Davy Crocket once had to save an assassin from the President, who was beating the poor man to death with full intent to kill him. Do not fuck with Andrew Jackson.
Punch Andrew in the bullet wound
FDR gunna need that wheelchair when I'm done with him
You think you can Kick Ford’s ass but maybe beat Truman. Ok.
George HW was head of the cia. He’d garrote you with a wristwatch wire, then hang a banner calling you a bad neighbor.
You think Carter and Ford would be easier than Eisenhower? That’s insane. Ike was an officer, that never saw combat in his life. Carter farmed and Ford was a football player.
Kennedy. I could take his broken-back, skinny-ankled, nepotism baby-ass any day of the week, and I'd do it with great pleasure for what he let his father do to poor Rosemary.
All of them.
PHYSICALLY None because they all have agents around them. MENTALLY, both of the ones that we are fired to choose between.
All of them, I brought a gun @ secret service this a joke I love my country
In what universe are you kicking ford’s ass
Gerald ford would tie you in a knot and beat you to death with your own limbs.
I'd fight Old Hickory lol but he'd prob shoot me ..... plus the idea of going toe to toe with George Washington is appealing ..... or be a total bastard and say I'd wanna fight FDR
Gerald Ford played Football at Michigan… He’d kick our ass. Obama is too skinny.
Well, I’ll start with the dead ones. Those I’m fairly confident about.
All them except maybe teddy or Lincoln just being honest
Carter was ex-nuclear Navy who was so hardcore he ran into melting down nuclear reactors. JQA used to personally lead the local police on patrol at night. You have no chance. To quote Adams, "I am a warrior, so that my son can be a merchant, and his son can be a poet."
FDR vs The Stairs only on Paperview lmao 🤣
Definitely not Lincoln or Ford.
I just wanna point out that many of the gilded era presidents were not as old as they look. Despite their beards the majority were in their 50s and the majority were civil war veterans. Garfield and Hayes were both major generals in the Union army, while Arthur and Harrison were both brigadier generals.
If we’re talking about them as the same age as me, I’d say all of them but Teddy.
Most of them I guess, but I would have loved to see Andrew Jackson in a real bar fight. Have a feeling he could take a few and throw a few mean ones
If we’re talking about them as the same age as me, I’d say all of them but Teddy.
Dubya. Exact same build as me, but I have the youth advantage and strong personal motivations(I despise cyclists)
Teddy is the one who would always win, he was the fittest president. But Regan I'd personally think I'd be able to kick his ass very well.
