    Gorillas are amazing, they have this reputation as a dangerous animal, when in fact they're quite peaceful. They're not going to hurt you unless they have a reason to. Although I'm sure that ranger still shít himself!! :)

    Thank fúck they're vegetarians!

    Chris Brown Vs Rihanna

    Fight I would want to see up close and in real life is Drago Vs Rocky. Stallone created a fight that we can only dream of happening which saddens me. It had it all really, two powerhouses fighting each other combined with the cold war tensions!

    In terms of animal kingdom I would be quite happy watching Caucasian Shepherd Dog Vs Grey Wolf/Timber Wolf

    Mike Tyson is an idiot. But you know what, i'd like to see him try punching an silverback gorilla in the face, and then see the Gorilla turn on him and give him a right beating. Might knock some sense into him.

    Anyway i'd like to see Tiger Vs Lion or Wolf Vs Hyena, although I'd say the wolf would win


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,000 ✭✭✭✭opinion guy


    Not even 15 Mike Tysons could knock out a gorilla.

    Neither could they change a light buld.


    I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet (Its a slow starter this one):



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    I'd pay decent money to watch Tyson punch a silverback in the face, then laugh my ass off as it pulled his limbs off carelessly and scratched itself with him. Stupid bastard.

    I'd like to fight a gorilla. That'd be a good way to go out.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Sea Sharp


    How about Mike Tyson with knuckle-dusters vs a chimpanzee?
    I think he could pull that off but lol with the silverback suggestion.

    I reckon he'd still have his face ripped off before he knew what was happening.

    Fedor vs Gorrila. I'd say Fedor by submission in second round.:p

    Ah but c'mon, knuckle dusters on a professional heavy-weight boxer! One punch landed would stun the animal, one well placed punch would kill it.

    No it wouldn't to the first part.
    as for thinking it would kill it? lol.


    People overestimate heavyweight boxers abilities methinks.
    or underestimate just how strong gorillas and chimpanzees are..

    I actually read an amusing/depressing argument about human v Gorilla fights in the youtube comments for a UFC match involving Kimbo Slice. An ardent proponent of Kimbo's place in the UFC world took the line of argumentation that his hero could knock out a gorilla. Even the toughest human being would be torn up like a Kleenex at a snot party by an average Chimpanzee, which are themselves several times stronger than any human, despite their stature. A Gorilla is a whole different story, and a silverback? Forget it, anyone who has seen one of these amazing beasts up close will agree that the idea of even preventing it from ripping you in half in less than 10 seconds, if it was in that way inclined, is utterly ludicrous, let alone actually entering a into a fight with it. It would literally be like a baby fighting Paul O'Connell.

    I agree. No matter how tough and heavy handed any man is, he is no match for a lot of animals out there. A gorilla would be more tickled from their strikes.

    Baboons would be a more evenly matched contest, but still I would put my money on a fully grown baboon to take any man.

    Nah I reckon man v bear could be a match:

    Nope. A chimpanzee would just snap their arms like twigs, then probably proceed to break every other bone in their body in a leisurely fashion, the boxer screaming and crying until eventually they pass out, go into shock and die. A silverback gorilla would probably just pull bits of them off until they stopped making noises.

    underestimating these animals is extremely dangerous anyone remember this case?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,000 ✭✭✭✭opinion guy





    This raises a question. I note this guy doesn't really fight back. Now maybe he doesn't get a chance to but I think he's trying to be submissive. So the question is: if you were unlucky enough to be set upon by a marauding chimp, which lets face it, in this part of the world is God-is-out-to-get-you unlucky, what do you do ? Fight back ? Act submissive ? Play dead ?

    Hmm I also think that chimp wasn't really trying to hurt the guy, it seemed to be just kicking him off the island. Which raises another question: chimp vs night-club bouncer - who wins ??? :D :P

    I stand corrected. Did a bit of googling and came across the following:
    http://www.slate.com/id/2212232
    The apes were less-than-willing participants in the study. They were more apt to tear apart the shiny dynamometer than pull on it, and, unless the ape had a "distinctly vicious disposition," she was unlikely to approach the experimental task with much vigor. Bauman managed to rig his device outside the cage, feeding in a rope for the apes to work on. Then, amazingly, one of the Bronx chimpanzees—a former circus ape named Suzette—managed to pull 1,260 pounds.
    Bauman took his study on the road, attempting tests at the Philadelphia Zoo and making inquiries as far afield as Chicago and Cincinnati. In 1926, he returned to the Bronx Zoo, successfully testing the largest chimpanzee then in captivity. That animal, named Boma, pulled 847 pounds one-handed.
    How did that compare with humans? As a college teacher in South Dakota, Bauman did what any good scientist would do: He recruited the football team as research subjects. He found that not one of his "husky lads" could pull more than 500 pounds with both hands, and only one had a one-handed pull above 200. What's more, the football players were free to use the dynamometer as they wished, while the chimpanzees had been forced to pull the apparatus from a clumsy posture in their cages. It appeared that chimpanzees really could be more than five times stronger than humans.

    It would be interesting to attempt to train a chimp for weight-lifting. :D

    Anyone who thinks Tyson could KO a gorilla think again. The stronger a boxers neck is, the less chance there is of a punch knocking him out. An adult silverback has a huge neck -

    ps- these days Jane Goodall could probably KO Tyson with ease.

    very true a silver back is often described as ten times the strenght of the strongest man and there extremly fast when threatened, a punch would surprise him at best!


    What about a kick in the balls ?

    A silverback would rip tysons arms off like they were chicken wings.

    We haven't the technology just yet to clone Tyson. So we're going to have to wait.
    I think if the Tysons can co-ordinate their efforts and fight as a team they can win. Feigned diversionary attacks, ambushes and striking at pressure points. Where as if they fight as fifteen individuals the Silver Back will pick them off one by one. Childs play.
