** In the short, Donald is portrayed as this, to the point that even hitting a flying paper bag can hurt his fist. The only reason he's fighting against Pete is that the strength games were rigged by the barker to feed his ego and lure him into the fight.
** Despite being a legitimate strong guy, Pete's glass jaw can't stand even the weakest punch, knocking him out instantly if hit.

At a carnival with his three nephews, Donald shows off his strength in all the games. A kid approaches the triplets and brags that his uncle could beat up Donald. Imagining the uncle to be as big a sissy as the Lord Fauntleroy-like kid, Don accepts the challenge -- not realizing that he's actually fighting Peewee WesternAnimation/{{Pete}}, the boxing champion. Will Donald survive one round with the champ? Or is he a sitting duck?
* TheBoxingEpisode: Donald is tricked into getting into a boxing ring with Pete.
* HallOfMirrors: Donald spars in front of a funhouse mirror that gives his reflection a HeroicBuild. He then moves over to the next mirror, which gives him a tiny reflection, so he returns to the first mirror.
* IronicNickname: There's nothing "peewee" about Peewee Pete.

* MyDadCanBeatUpYourDad: A sissy kid (actually the carnival barker in disguise) tells the nephews that "My uncle can beat your uncle." Donald takes the challenge, not realizing the kid's "uncle" is the boxing champ.
* PunnyTitle: On the canvasback, a species of duck; here, the canvas refers to the boxing ring.
* TestYourStrengthGame: Donald starts with the high-striker, and wins because he accidentally fell head first, followed by the mallet. He then goes on to ace all the other strength games in the carnival, which may or may not be rigged as part of Pete's scam.
