    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.

      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.

      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.

            I believe Lincoln only lost one wrestling match in his life. He might do alright.

              I'm pretty sure Herbert Hoover never lost a knife fight.

                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
