Historical military leader you'd love to face in combat?

If you could face ANY military leader from any era in history in combat, who would it be and why? What about that fighter intrigues you? Remember that you would be limited to the war materials of that day. Think you can still win? Why?

Obama technically is Our military 'leader' - I would want to face him because it would be an easy win. He wouldn't do squat and I would walk all over him.

Rommel, in the desert, with M1, Bradley and Apache...

or...

Sitting Bull at Little Big Horn, with M240s, M203s, and plenty of smoke and ammo; and claymores.

Guy de Lusignan. He was about everything you could ask for in an enemy. Turning victory into defeat. Always taking the worst advice. King Guy was able to kill more of his own troops with terrible choices and leaving the rest is such terrible condition they could barely fight? You did not have to beat him, only wait till he destroyed his own army.
