Presidents wrestlers. Once upon a time it was

In his time was pretty good custom to release before the decisive battle of their fighters before the formation of the main fight. Well, there Relight With Chelubey, but if you dig a little deeper - David vs. Goliath. Sometimes thus decide who won. And what? Fairly economical way to solve the issue of superiority. Not quite correct throughout the army, but everywhere there are costs. By the way, quite a long time and the leaders themselves kings, princes, and other overlord quite even were combat-ready. And before his army could go out and the opponent on the trunk squeal.
By the way, early US presidents were very serious fighter. George Washington was the winner of the tournament to fight in Virginia in forty-seven years. Seven opponents in the course of the competition can fight. Ten years later he became president. A Lincoln to twenty-one, he was a champion of Illinois. Three hundred victories with a record! This is despite the fact that fought without any rules. Wild West, a pancake. One of the victories was a long continuation. The future head of the sixteenth US has managed to win the battle at a certain Jack Armstrong, the leader of the gang that held at bay district. Despite the attempts companions intervene in the match, Jack recognized the victory of Abraham, and they parted as friends.

A quarter century later, when Duff, son Jack, accused of murder, he volunteered to defend Lincoln, who by then had become a lawyer. And won acquittal. At the same time refusing to take payment for protection.
Today the time, of course, others. Of the current leaders can compete, probably only Mr. Putin. However, if we allow this alignment, all the others he spread like kittens. Well, maybe that will be the president of Ukraine Klitschko. Then the possible options.
