What animal your own weight can you beat in barehand combat

[Skull]

I've had a cow try to eat me before. It wasn't all that impressive, but I still sort of freaked out which was a bit embarrassing since the cow belonged to a cute girl I was attempting to chat up.

You are now the guy from Harvest Moon

You flatter me.

I tried googling "pansy 115 pound animal" and didn't get any results before getting bored. So I guess I'm just screwed.

What about a really, really obese house cat?

It better be really, really, REALLY obese.. otherwise it might turn out like that video D:

A grizzly bear is probably my weight, though I doubt I could take him. I could probably take a shark though, I'm a good swimmer and I float.

 

clearly you're a fatass. i'd say a 120lb dog would be easy enough for me.

 

I'm a good swimmer and I float.

Doubt it.

 

A grizzly bear is like 600 pounds.

 

Want to do something ballsy? Fight a badger or a wolverine. They're not our weight (at least they don't look like it...), but they're ferocious.

A badger killed my neighbor's german sheperd. Holy crap.

Unfair fight, taking away our ability to make and use tools is a huge handicap. The reason why we'd suck in such a situation as they we've evolved without the need to have "built-in" weapons or strength like many animals need to survive.

 

The fight would be much more even even if only given an hour to "prepare" for it, in that time you could fairly easily create some sort of weapon, be it a simple wooden spear or some sort of slingshot.

 

I think the question is stupid to be honest.

Nope. The reason we'd suck is because we have common sense. Instead of lashing out in rabid fury, we can plan decisive attacks that can be lethal if used in the correct circumstances. Brains over Brawns. A bear might be able to claw the [cabbage] out of us, but we can rupture its superior vena cava given an accurately placed fist to the throat.

 

Going off of that, I could take on anything my weight, except something underwater or animals that weigh over a ton or so (that's just a [bleep]ing unfair...).

Good luck getting close enough to punch it in the throat.

Mimic the movements of the bear, dodge it, and then pummel the [cabbage] out of its throat before it can do the same to me with its claws.

I'm not expecting people to wrestle a boar, bear or tiger, thats stupid, But what about a baby giraffe? a doe deer? a pissed off chicken? turkey? maybe a cow? Ostrich?

I'd wager half of tip.it is out of shape, myself included, but some of us might of taken some karate - a 12 year old boy killed a boxer dog with a jujitsu hold

Most animals would be deadly foes - while i disagree tools are our advantage, lets just use a machine gun - i think this is Darwinism at it's finest

 

 

i mean i think i could take an emu or a llama easily enough in a ring., would i punch it? No, but maybe i could grab it's neck or mount it from behind and put it in a hold..

[Furah]

I don't care what they weigh, but I'd take on a crocodile.Despite having extremely powerful biting force, my hand has enough force to keep its mouth shut.

[1230abcz]

I could take on a Velociraptor... No problem.

 

 

 

 

Edit @ person above me: No. You have the strength to hold its mouth down, yes, but you don't have the strength to keep the crocodile from thrashing you in the ground at 20 miles an hour. Also, I'd like to see you actually kill an alligator after closing down its said mouth.

Get on back, close mouth, pull upwards, snap neck. Possible easy.

Crocodile != Aligator, they come from different families of crocodilians.

Haha pretty good topic. Doubt theres anything in my weight range (around 130lbs i think) i could take without a weapon, another human maybe but nothing with claws or pointy, sharp teeth.

I lol'd at the person who's gonna punch the bear in the throat.

This guy knows how to tackle a bear fight.

[RexMilotic]

Well, I could do a 115 Tortoise. Breaking it's next shouldn't be too hard, and because it's a land/water animal, I should be able to fight it on land.

A tortoise is a land animal, it's cousin the sea turtle is a water animal.

I'm pretty sure I could take on a 160lb wombat :) Those bastards can't even break the skin, so I'd say I'm safe there :lol:

 

 

On another note.. I know Kangaroo's are bloody dangerous.. but I'd like to take a shot at one of them.

[Rock Hard]

 

strangle the skinny bastard

[Guthorm]

Oh gosh, our strongest weapon is our mouth, so you might want to bite whatever you are fighting.

 

Maybe a calf? Go for the knees and poke its eye.

I've helped snap a buck's neck. Kinda felt bad. But my friend had shot the thing and not killed it properly, and neither of us had a pistol.

 

That's why we don't ride deer, though, they have weak-[wagon] necks.

 

I want to box a kangaroo, too.

two 12 yr olds

 

if not then i'd kill a 145 lb panda

[obfuscator]

I'd say you're probably the most a human could hope to beat is in the coyote/wolf/hyena range. They use mainly their jaws as weapons, and while they are deadly, obviously, it is only one thing to worry about. With a tiger, for instance, you neutralize the jaws but still have the claws to work around. Plus the strength of it would be too much to handle.

According to the almighty Wiki, that would put you between 300-1200 pounds.

 

As for the topic, probably none of them. An animal my weight or heavier would be much deadlier in every possible way.

...How about a starving grizzly?
