      LOL

      my money is on Jackson being the one who murders him (Washington); he wouldn’t blink, either. They were closer in age, and the hero myth wouldn’t be quite as firmly set. Besides, I’m pretty sure Jackson didn’t blink when he sneezed…

            I think we discussed this way back when.

              We did discuss who was the biggest badass, and I say hands down Jackson.

                My money is on the Bushes teaming up and kicking some ass.

                1. Don’t forget that we’re bigger and stronger than we were 100-200 years ago. That counts for ALOT.

                2. W was still riding frigging Mountain Bikes during his presidency, and I mean for real… He would likely have been the fittest President AND he was trained in hand to hand with similar knives.

                3. HW looks soft and intellectual, but don’t forget that he headed the CIA. Wet works is right up his alley. I can just hear him saying “Excuse me, President Jackson, but Grover Cleveland is trying to sneak up on you…” When Jackson turns around, a knife is slipped neatly and precisely through his thoracic 3 and thoracic 4 vertebrae…

                  Teddy Roosevelt isn't so agile, but he's a horse and would give zero fucks about bleeding out. If he's not immediately taken down he'd be a contender.

                    Washington.

                    Over 6 feet tall, possibly as tall as 6'4". Extremely athletic and graceful at 220 pounds. Known for being strong as an ox. Trained in the use of edged weapons. Worked as a surveyor west of the Blue Ridge for over a year, when surveying in the wilderness was not for the faint of heart. Natural leader.

                    A modern day equivalent might be an NFL middle linebacker with weapons training.

                      I think Teddy makes it to the finals...Everyone sees the horrible stab wound he takes from Jackson and thinks he's out of it, but Teddy lays low and plays Possum. The only question is whether or not he reveals himself to still be well before or after George HW sacrifices himself for his son?

                          Ellis says that Washington was about 6'2", Chernow says 6 foot even. Others claim taller.

                                In 12 years of wrestling, Abraham Lincoln was known to have lost only one match out of 300 on his way to being inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.

                                  The more interesting question is: Would any of them beat Putin?

                                    They'd all beat Putin. He's just a little guy.

                                      Putin's credentials as a fighter are not so clear, but if they are not fake, he might be able to kick some serious ass.

                                      Putin has been practicing judo since he was 11 years old,[558] before switching to sambo at the age of fourteen.[559] He won competitions in both sports in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg). He was awarded eighth dan of the black belt in 2012, becoming the first Russian to achieve the status.[560] Putin also practises karate.[561] He co-authored a book entitled Judo with Vladimir Putin in Russian, and Judo: History, Theory, Practice in English (2004).[562] Benjamin Wittes, a black belt in taekwondo and aikido and editor of Lawfare, has disputed Putin's martial arts skills, stating that there is no video evidence of Putin displaying any real noteworthy judo skills
