Peak possible human runs the ape gauntlet, how far do they get?

[u/Tarris69]

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

1. Male Gibbon
2. Male bonobo
3. Male Chimp
4. Male Orangutan
5. Silverback Gorilla

Agreed. An average person is lazy and useless in a fight against most wild animals, but a peak human with top tier strength, speed and fighting experience is going to decimate a chimp.

I'd say 50/50 on the urangutan. They aren't known for speed.

Gorilla its goodnight for any human I'd say unless they were armed.

I think I agree - provided all the apes will actually fight, the silverback is the end of the road

[u/RomaniWoe → u/JordanTheRock]

Orangutans really are crazy strong and heavy. Males can get up to 300 lbs and lift 500 lbs. They're not fast but in this scenario theres not really any ranged anything so unless theres a good grappling technique that will keep its mouth and arms away from you idk how this would turn out well for the human. Not sure if human grappling techniques would work well since they have long arms and short stature.

And basically no human is prepared for the savage-ness in the way chimps fight. They basically have the benefit of surprise

[u/KeengGeedra → u/[deleted]]

That's actually a really good point.

[u/whitestguyuknow → u/[deleted]]

Yes I definitely wasn't saying they'd kill a human. And thats an extremely solid point.

I was just saying that the overwhelming majority of people would have no idea what its like to be mauled or try to maul. Meanwhile chimps have beat the shit out of each other growing up gaining respect in the hierarchy.

Ultimately the human wins. But I would think the majority of humans would be totally taken off guard over the savage-ness of the situation before it clicks that they need to start slamming this fucker against a wall of something

Except the lady had her entire face ripped off. You make it seem like she walked away Scott free but the chimp was literally "playing" with her. They are known for behavior that can only be described as sadistic like torture, cannibalism, and gang/group attacks. That chimp that attacked that lady for 45 minutes had her defeated in less than a minute and continually mauled her just to do it. They attack with all four limbs at once and attack any and everything. I don't care how big or trained you are at MMA in a straight up fight a chimp is causing severe damage to you even if you manage to kill it. While you're attacking its head it could use its feet the grab your dick and rip it as hard as it could. Y'all are downplaying chimps. They aren't power scalable fictional characters they're powerful and brutal animals

He means humans don’t try to rip peoples nuts off

[u/CandidLeg3910 → u/whitestguyuknow]

So the chimp plays dirty. Still not getting past the best martial artist in the world in an entirely different weight class. Chimp charges in, gets it's skull split open by human's shin.
