That's fine, and I really do respect your opion and can see why you, and a lot of other people love it so much. However, the suggestion is just too boring and obvious for me. The things you listed about how they both had impacts on the world is fine and all, however, is that a reason to put them in the same battle? Like what has been said before, the connection between them is who's the better president correct? Well, I do not believe that is a reason for them to battle. Sure, you could argue that they both deserve to be in a battle, but do the reasons you listed really support the fact that they should go against each other? They are not connections, but things that are similar in their lives. By comparing people like this, you could connect a huge amount of people to each other.

The reason why I believe that this battle is too americanised is that people outside of America and who were not around during the time, will not remember it. This stuff isn't taught to us, it is stuff we pickup by ourselves. The stuff you listed takes a lot of research about the particular person to learn about it, and even then, does anyone really care enough to do this? Don't get me wrong, it is important, however, not everyone wants to research on this kind of stuff, unless it is needed. In England, where I live, American history isn't something that is taught regularly, and especially not the modern history. Even then, it doesn't go into extreme detail about what they did and what happened. Whereas, in America, even though, it isn't taught in as much detail as you listed, more people will remember the stuff they did because they were leaders of your country. They were american heroes, much like Winston Churchil was an english hero. I guess that the point that I am trying to convey is that the reasons you listed for them being well known across the world are just too small. Every historical figure has had an important impact on the world, however, someone such as Nixon's history is more memorable in the country that he lead, then anywhere else.

I'm sorry for the long post, but this is my entire thoughts on this suggestion, and amerianised battles. Unless they are facing someone more gloabally known *coughcaeservsnixoncough* then I don't think it should happen, and when the connection is as bland as it is in this case, it should be totally out of the question.
