Wouldn't it be a "bear naked choke"?

What color is your boo-gah-ee???

That was essentially what I was going to comment.

You punch a skull like that, you're breaking knuckles. It happens vs other humans as it is, no way do you punch a gorilla in the face and do even the same amount of damage your hand takes. You're sure as hell not knocking it out.

As entertainment, the idea is awesome, because I can imagine this relatively small guy squaring up against a silverback, all confident and executing the footwork perfectly, throwing a right hook just as hard as he can, and then there's a spray of blood from his hand, followed by the gorilla turning him into steak tartare in a minute or less.

Has dude never been to a zoo that has gorillas? Back in my prime, I would have been a heavyweight, and I feel like a damn twig next to a gorilla, no matter how much height I have on one. And I've never been that close to one. Seeing them twelve feet away was intimidating as hell.

You see those fin-like bones that rise up from the skull? All of that is filled with the muscle that closes the jaw - technically the purpose of these bones is for the muscle to attach to. One bite will slice and crush anything of you that is in his mouth.

Oh, and humans lack a type of fast-twitch muscle fibre that gorillas (and pretty much all non-human mammals) have. This makes their muscles a lot more powerful than ours, no matter what training you do. They will tire faster, but thats probably only during the stomp-on-your-bloody-remains part of the fight.

Oh, and their reaction speed is also faster.

Basically, you have zero chance going mano a mano with a gorilla.

French is also gay, so French and fake.

Even cats will fuck you up if they really intend to.

The problem with apes is that relative to their size, they have way more muscle mass than humans. They have lower myostatin levels, so their muscle density is ridiculous.

There are humans that could absolutely lift a gorilla, but there's absolutely no chance that they could win a fight against one. Even a strongman is going to struggle against a chimp.

Humans are different because we discovered tools which meant we were more successful hunters. Since large muscles require more calories, natural selection did its thing and we got much weaker.

Orangutans have entered the chat. Their only natural weapons are the long guns they're packing. Lean machine all folded up in a big skin sack. Plenty of humans could bench an adult orangutan, zero humans are winning that fight.

That being said they're basically just a half step down the neurology ladder and 2 steps up the jungle ladder, so it makes sense that they would outclass us.

Lots of creatures within the realm of benchable weight often have specialized defenses that could constitute a 1-hit KO if you fuck up in the slightest.

A chimp could rip your arms off. A kangaroo could crack all your ribs with a kick.

If you consider these "natural weapons" then sure, I guess that just limits you to fighting juvenile cows or something, at which point I'll give it to you, I could probably take a newborn calf in a fight.

Wait, you think you couldn't beat a giraffe?

Can we also get Musk v Zuck as the opening?

Yeah, we weighs less than an average female gorilla. A preteen probably outweighs him. Newton has a few things to say about what will happen.

You would pay to watch a man get ripped apart? No thanks, I'd rather not have that image on my mind for the rest of my life.

Even something smaller like a chimp can bite straight through a human and has enough strength to rip an arm straight off.
