Oso planning to go pro
I wish I had dabbled a bit in martial arts in my prime. Anyway, could say an 8th degree black belt in Karate, Judo, Tai-Kwando or whatever take out a heavyweight professional boxer regardless of his size or weight? Would Bruce Lee for example really be able to introduce Tyson Fury to darkness? I was just curious.
I wonder who would win in a fight, a gorilla or a shark?
That's an inconceivable confrontation.
Godzilla vs Kong?
Obviously if you look at the entire spectrum of the animal kingdom, humans aren't particularly impressive physically. I was just throwing it out there. Hard for me to see a little guy hurting Fury. Although it is interesting that the most deadly animal to humans (by far) is the mosquito.
With hodags and agropelters not far behind
I hate that I had to log on for the second time, since this place got insanely too toxic, to answer this but it boiled my blood even reading it. Considerations: 1) weight classes happen for a reason, in UFC, Muay Thai, American Kickboxing, Boxing, Wrestling, etc they all have weight classes because someone like Fury could take the head of someone like Lee. 2) rules? Are we talking a street fight? At my best at boxing if I were to get taken down I'd lose, of course I could've hit someone with about 6-8 punches before they got that close so they'd better have a solid chin. That being said a boxers balance isn't designed to take kicks (notice UFC wider stance, or wrestling has a more traditional athletic squared up stance) so when you say take out you need to establish a code of rules3) what type of martial arts. Many martial arts leave you open to queensberry rules combinations because they lower your fists to you sides or below your chin. I have been floored by a third degree tai-kwando black belt because he landed a liver punch, but literally the entire sparring match I was tapping him in the face. He won because the placement and emphasis (and my drinking) but does he eat those punches without headgear? Each combat sports has its specialties, people like to wet themselves saying ones "better" than the other but there's fighters in every one that could beat fighters in every one so bottom line is it would depend how specialized you were and how specialized the opposing fighter was and what the code of rules was.
Ty for your expertise Galway Eagle. I wonder what a Lowland Gorilla would do to Fury? Or a Kodiak Bear? I once saw on one of those NatGeo shows some dude in a cage dropped in the middle of the arctic in order to "observe" polar bears. Let's just say that "impenetrable" cage didn't lessen the fear of this poor guy. The strength of a Polar Bear is beyond awesome.
You wonder what a 8 foot tall 1000lb bear would do to a boxer? Or a gorilla that can lift 2000 lbs? What do you put in your coffee in the morning that conjures this inanity?
Remember that whole thing that was "percent of respondents who thought they could win in a fight vs [X Animal]" that was going around a year or two ago? This has strong random bro vibes thinking he could fight an ostritch.Also, obligatory xkcd:
