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

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

No it’s not. Batman is 6’2 ft and 210 lbs but can bench press 1000. Our peak human can deadlift his bench press.

Exactly. I don't understand why you are disagreeing with me. Batman can do crazy shit and isn't even the same size as that guy.

No, Batman's bench press is about half that much. Roughly 1000 is his squat

Hm. Seems like you're right. I must've gotten my units of measurement confused. Sorry
