No magic?
Hitler. He might be short and a snivelling little fascist, but:
a) he was a soldier b) Voldemort has, what, 1/7th of a soul? And is all pale and icky. c) you've still got to be kind of tough to be a fascist. It's the putches. d) Voldemort would only know how to fight with his magic and wouldn't know how to throw a punch. e) did you see kid Voldemort in those films? He was a weed. I doubt adult Voldemort was much better.

Hitler.
Voldemort's entire defence depended on his magic, instead of physical prowess.
Hitler, however, knew at least some hand-to-hand, not to mention he was a soldier, and didn't depend on just his bodyguards at the end. He could handle himself in a fist fight - came from being homeless on the streets.
I think you're underestimating how crazy he could probably get when he's backed into a corner. He epitomizes "never-say-die". When he lost the war the first time he at least had a contingency plan. This is versus the guy who lost and then blew his own head off.
He wasn't crazy. ...Well, no. I'm pretty sure he was crazy. But he was an overglorified D student who hired crazier and more dependable people than he was.
And to be fair Voldemort's physical abilities in his new body were never put to the full test. If you want to talk Pre-Goblet of fire, then yeah, I'd argue he was fucked. But that entire story was about him building a new body that wasn't frail. And he might have hated non-magic stuff, but he wasn't stupid and he was dead paranoid.

Assuming Voldie isn't a complete failure in a fist fight, anyway.

Voldemort's probably got a glass jaw too.
