Match #7: Barack Obama vs. Andrew Johnson
Obama has only been in office for two years thus far, but it's highly unlikely he won't complete a full term. So let's give him the benefit of the doubt and allot him four years, putting him on par with his opponent.

Andrew Johnson was a fairly average man, but with an unflinching attitude. If this were a staring contest, he'd trounce the competition. But it isn't, so he won't. I mean, have you seen those photos of Obama at the beach? Dude is ripped.

Winner:



Match #8: John Adams vs. George Washington

Here we go! President vs. Vice President! While Washington was in office, Adams served as VP. Upon Washington leaving office, Adams stepped up and took over, but only for a single term. This gives Adams a slight advantage in being able to so closely observe his opponent while he was in office, but a huge disadvantage time-wise.

Neither fighter was very masculine or gruff. Sure, Washington may have led an army or something, but he did wear those frilly, ruffled shirts and fancy powdered wigs. How fey. They were this close to being the first cross dressers in American history. Regardless, with four minutes of free range beating time, Washington would beat Adams to within an inch of his life.

Adams would then be taken back to his farm in Quincy to try and recover. Here he would whisper his last words: "Thomas Jefferson survives." But little does he know that Clinton whupped Jefferson's ass last week.

Winner:



Hey, sports fans. Cliff McNaughton here.

*the sound of quivering sadness*

My co-host Charlie... had to... step out for a while. But how 'bout those matches, huh? Oh god...

There's... there's so much blood.

Why, Charlie, why!? How could you leave me? How could leave me with these people?

Oh, it's all your fault! You animals! You sons of bitches! You didn't deserve Charlie Cavanaugh! You didn't deserve him at all! You just wanna see blood! You wanna see some blood? I SAID YOU WANNA SEE SOME BLOOD!? WELL HERE'S SOME BLOOD, MOTHER FUCKERS!

*gunshot*

No offense Matt, but it's kinda hard to imagine these guys as "muscular" or "ripped" when they all kinda look like skinny sticks...

Washington will take Obama easily. 8 years > 4 years. Wooden teeth > Smoking, and of course Serving in both Continental and British Armies over non-services, along with having all the minute men on his side. Washington by a 54-50 decision.

Giving Obama the benefit of the doubt is a dick move to Johnson.

I agree. The world will be over in 2012, so even if Obama was a good president, I don't think we'll have a president when the apocalypse comes. Granted that it'll take 7 years for the world to completely be destroyed, but... still. ANARCHY!

Gerald Ford was the speaker of the House during the Watergate scandal, NOT VP. Ford still wins for being the only president that wasn't elected by the people. Totally beats Polk.

Damn straight. Lincoln's got the reach sure, but no way he could match Grant for power.

Indeed. Although, honestly, I'm not so sure about Garfield > John Quincy and Lincoln > Grant. John Quincy Adams had decent amounts of badassery, but I think you greatly belittle Grant. I mean, that guy was more than just any ordinary fighter. But whatever.

Also, the Jackson match was done very well.

Garfield could write with two hands, as I heard - you should've included that.

George Washington never wore a wig, he actually powdered his hair. Obama doesn't deserve a pity win, thats too unfair and plus Johnson had to put up with a radical republican controlled congress that was after him every second of his presidency, that should give him an advantage.

Washington also didn't have wooden teeth. They were made of ivory and set with gold. He would only wear dentures made by this dentist from New York, I think his name was John Greenwood or something like that.

To everyone who says Johnson wouldve won, youre stupid! Johnson was an Andrew Jackson poser. He was a pussy, so Obama wouldve kicked his ass, even without fair time.

Good fights, good fights.

Ooh! Ooh! I noticed a mistake! "What's the Cliff?" should probably be "What's that Cliff?" Otherwise it was another great piece.

Good job Mr. Melvin! Another great one!

BS. U.S. Grant would have taken out Abe in no time. Boxer or not, Grant was a solider. My money is still on Jackson, though. Stonewall Jackson.
