There exists a certain honor in one man fighting another — in measuring your strength, effort, wit, and will against a single worthy opponent and coming out on top. But we've done that in the previous rounds, and if the WWE has taught us anything, it's that a Royal Rumble is always an exciting way to watch a fight. Our 32 manliest presidents have punched, kicked, and gouged each other for weeks and only the top four seeds remain: George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt. Now they'll all enter one cage for the final fight of the Esquire's Presidential Death Match with only one man walking out alive. Old Hickory or the Big Stick? The Great General or the Great Emancipator? So check out the tale of the tape, read up on your badass founding fathers (one of whom survived at least 13 duels), get some insight from our recent conversation with Daniel O'Brien, author of How to Fight Presidents, and vote for who you believe would emerge victorious. And feel free to describe in the comments how you think the Rumble would go down, including who might team with who, who falls first, and what's the final blow that ends this great battle.

Voting for the third round will close Thursday, April 10, at 12:00 a.m. EST.

Who would win in an all-out brawl?
