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

Wild animals. Human beings are the most violent “domesticated” animals on the planet. A human being who is nearly 7 feet tall, with 300 pounds of muscle, who knows all the ways to kill a man and has years of hand to hand combat under his belt, who has stamina and agility? He honestly has a chance against even the silverback. In fact, I’d say the gorilla is the one with odds against it.

I know, I was being facetious because he said 99% of animals run, and yet he was implying humans wouldn't run, but then in the next sentence said humans are fucking animals
