Okay, we're all sitting in Madison Square Garden with thousands of other screaming people. Lights are flashing, pyrotechnics are going off, and music is blaring. With an additional flash of light the two contestents come down to the ring.
They cross the floor to shake hands as they are instructed, listen to the rules, then come out swinging. It's an even fight for a while, but soon it becomes clear that one of the two has the upper hand. The question: Which of the two is it?
Okay, put yourself in the position of a fan at MSG watching this fight from the very beginning, who do you think would be the victor: Haman or Hitler?
A little backstory (For those who don't know): Haman is kinda like the ancient version of Hitler, the main villain in the Purim story of Jewish mythology. He's the main advisor to the King of Persia (I have no idea how to spell the kings name) and happens to not like the Jews to much. He manages to convince the King that there is an evil group within his country plotting to bring down the government and that they need to be exterminated at once. The King says okay and Haman plots to kill all the Jews in Persia. The Kings wife (Esther) tells him what's what (She's Jewish herself) and he stops Hamans plot and hangs Haman himself from the very gallows that had been built for the Jews. Everybody lives happily ever after, yay!
I think you're all at least vaguely familiar with the story of Hitler so I don't think I need to go into that part here.
So, who would win in a fight?
