Thomas Jefferson

And now we get to our first really interesting fight, the outcome of my bouts with the first two Presidents are pretty easy to predict, but Jefferson and I are much more evenly matched. Jefferson was 58 when he got elected and he stood 6 feet 2 inches tall, weighing roughly 180 pounds. He certainly does have height and weight on me, but I’m willing to bet that Jefferson, a lifelong academic, was more skin and bones than muscle; it also should be noted that 58 years in the 1700’s was a lot harder on the human body than it is today. If he had served in any wars I’d probably give Jefferson the benefit of the doubt here, but since he didn’t I’ll side with my youthfulness here and say I beat the author of the Declaration of Independence in a close fight.
