At least you can still re-enact the Spassky-Fischer match....

Otto Von Bismarck Vs. Niccolo Machievelli

Edit: I realize in hindsight you were refering to actual matchups that happened historically, rather than hypothetical matchups that would have been damn impressive to see.

that's ok, history, I'll accept it. After all, I actually have two hypotheticals on the list (european swallow vs. african swallow and spinal tap vs rutles)

Cal vs. Stanford 1982 in Football

nice one, history...I might also add The Ice Bowl (although, living in Packer land, I've seen the replays of that many times, it's not the same as sitting out in Wisconsin's frozen tundra anticipating every moment).

If you accept hypotheticals:
Napolean vs Alexander the Great vs Ghengis Khan vs The Roman Empire

and a historical one:
the Battle of Trafalger (the British Royal Navy vs a combined French and Spanish fleet)
