LB JOHNSON -VS- A JOHNSON
This is a fight between two combatants with different, but countering skill sets. LBJ is by far the larger opponent, but comes from a more docile era. Andrew, born in the early 1800s, lost his father at 3, and had to fight and scrounge his way to survive. Functionally illiterate until taking a wife, AJ had a hardening childhood. LBJ didn’t have it much better, living in a house with no electricity or running water.
The fight starts out slowly, with a few jabs here and there by both combatants. Johnson starts to leverage his advantages though, picking his spots to inflict some body blows that do damage.
In round 2, Johnson comes out in a flurry, surprising Johnson and putting him on his heels. Johnson started throwing haymaker after haymaker, with Johnson desperately trying to sidestep out of the path. And then, just as Johnson was starting to tire, Johnson responds with a flurry of his own - summoning the hatred that had built up from such a difficult childhood. Johnson tries desperately to fight back, but Johnson is just too much, and finally, in the waning moments of Round 2 - Johnson goes down! And as Johnson stand over him, Johnson looks up, knowing he’s defeated....and taps the mat.
JOHNSON WINS!
Although he fought Native Americans in numerous engagements, much of his service was devoted to protecting their lands from invading white settlers. Taylor seemed to understand if not sympathize with the plight of the Native Americans, and he admired their style of guerrilla warfare. He frequently bemoaned the incompetence of the citizen militia units that he commanded in comparison to the superb discipline and unity of his Indian foes. For Taylor, the best solution to the ongoing wars required a strong military presence to stand between white settlers and the Native Americans. He viewed anything less as a poor and ultimately doomed solution.

JOHNSON WINS!
Andrew Johnson was a small, frail sort. Lyndon had hands as big as engine blocks, he would have pounded Andrew into the ground like railroad spikes.LBJ was a sneaky bastard and fearsome opponent when it came to Senate committees, but Andy Johnson would destroy him. Let's face it, the 1800s dudes were just far more badazz.
Andy would kick the shyt out of that soft bureaucrat.Andrew Johnson was a small, frail sort. Lyndon had hands as big as engine blocks, he would have pounded Andrew into the ground like railroad spikes.
