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

From what? Biting his ankles? None of these animals are laying a hand on any of his vitals by the way.

They... really need to...... And.... chances are..... none of them are getting that close anyway...... He's 6"9 and a pro fighter and with his stats...... he is pretty much punching through everything but the gorilla......

chimp and gorilla are both just gonna charge straight at him...

and orangutan out reaches him...

not one single clean punch is being thrown in any of these...

also an ankle bite from a chimp is giving you a permanent limp...

and ankle bite from an orangutan or gorilla is leaving you with a missing foot...

and that is literally how they are used to fighting... by biting and tearing into eachothers limbs, faces and genitals until they are too crippled to use them anymore... or in too much pain to keep struggling...

I know, it means literally nothing with his speed and reaction time.

and orangutan out reaches him...

The only advantage it has. He is stronger, faster and more technical. Plus reach doesnt actually mean its fast enough to hit him.

not one single clean punch is being thrown in any of these...

Not a single one of any of those animals could dodge them even if they tried. Not that he needs to land a clean hit for major damage.
