Death Battle!: In terms of Fisticuffs?

              Early on, we learned that Screwattack's Wily VS Robotnik Death Battle! would be a platoon battle.  That is to say, supremacy would be based on a squadron of each of these doctors' respective world domination forces, matching robotic creations to robotic creations.  But leave it to me to have my mind wonder (and not come back);  What if this battle was done "mano a mano" instead?

                A Death Battle! bout usually consist of two fighters brawling it out, fist to face.  While armor and weapons do play a factor, it's still usually the fighter's own body making all the necessary movements and taking all the necessary blows.  So taking out the philosophical aspect of extended body through their vehicles and robotic soldiers, which of these two diabolical scientist could win out in a bare bones street fight?

Even the Amazon can't stop Wily
_           As it turns out, Dr. Wily is remarkably spry despite his age and balding head.  Super Adventure Rockman had the diabolical doctor accomplish a phenomenal one man foot expedition through the Amazon Rain Forest to the center of the Ranfont Ruins.  This was a feat done without the Doctor's well know robotic devices to aid him, due to an electromagnetic wave that disabled all electronics in range of the ruins.  The physical stamina and wherewithal to carry supplies and navigate such a dangerous and thick terrain would be difficult for even a seasoned explorer team.  So much so, that even the United Nations (From Rockman's World) were unable to accomplish this. Yet Wily succeeds such a trek on his first try, and not really all that worse for wear, being fit and ready to start a new world domination plan upon getting to his destination.

_            But with all that said, Wily athletic prowess would still be absolutely no match against Dr. Robotnik.  This is because Robotnik's physical capabilities are freakishly super human.  Don't let the scrawny legs or odd barreled body fool you,  he has a physicality that's comparable to that of Superman!  Exactly how he accomplishes this has never been mentioned, be it cybernetics, mutation or some sort of masterful chi manipulation.  And oddly these abilities or ignored and downplayed in favor for Robotnik's mechanical and scheming genius.

           Need proof of my claims? Review the following:
  1. As recent as Sonic 4, He can regularly outrun Sonic "the fastest thing alive" the Hedgehog, which he does to make his escape to his next egg machine.
  2. Sonic Riders has Robotnik smashing stone pillars with his bare hands.
  3. Sonic Adventure 2 had Robotnik grabbing on rising hooks to hold up both his own weight AND the weight of his large metal mechanical walker vehicle during the fight against the Egg Golem. With his OWN HANDS.
  4. Robotnik is classified as a "Power Type" in the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Series. This puts him on par with King Bowser Koopa.
  5. The above mentioned Hand Stand trick that he does regularly in Sonic Free Riders

                   While there's definitely more out proof of Robotnik's robust physique out there, I think I've made my case. Fortunately for Wily, this battle isn't a MMA or Boxing Match, allowing him to take shelter in his technology.

Eggman is quite fast to be able to escape from Sonic, but never noticed before how powerful he is, except with cheats like this:

Good thing Wily will not brawl him! He may have some speed (Wily Wars' Wily Tower ending for example), but not strength.

Eggman is something else, alright. Before reading this, I figured he'd be the more likely victor in a true one-on-one match.
