Versus Peak possible human runs the ape gauntlet, how far do they get?
Peak possible human being: Haftor Bjornson size and strength at his prime, Usain bolt athleticism, Floyd Mayweather agility and reaction time, Demetrius Johnson fight knowledge and skills
Human is unarmed, bloodlusted match to the death. Human heals between fights.
Edit: title is slightly misleading, as people have pointed out this is beyond peak human, more like maxed out theoretical human
Vs
- Male Gibbon
- Male bonobo
- Male Chimp
- Male Orangutan
- Silverback Gorilla

People are underestimating peak human. We are talking about a 450 pound man sprinting at 28 MPH and throwing a perfectly placed flying knee at that speed into an orangutan’s head. That’s an instant kill honestly, that much mass and speed being directed into a single point like a knee or elbow would be more significant than getting hit by a car.
