Everybody's very quick to assume a gorilla would sweep 1 arm and knock tyson's head off. The comment about 1st round death for gorilla was pretty funny. But after reading the suprisingly readable article by Gene Tunney I'm not so sure. How many heavyweights today can write an article like that? I like his points about a boxer being tremendously more intelligent (even today's boxers) and trained in how to fight and where to punch.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorilla, "Adult males range in height from 165-175 cm (5'4"-5'7"), and in weight from 140-165 kg (310-365 lbs.)" Furthermore, a higher portion of their weight is in their stomachs as plant food. So they're not really that much bigger than humans. Because they walk on their knuckles, they're actually very short for a boxer. Especially today's 6'5"-7' heavyweight.

Gorillas are actually not violent either. Silverbacks will beat their chest, make loud noises, etc to fend off attackers. Only if really provoked will they charge.

So I'm siding with Gene Tunney and I say Tyson knocks out or scares a gorilla away.

I think you need to do more home work ,Gorillas can grow to 6 feet and weigh 600lbs !

Catskills, you are by far the most delusional person in the world.

Even with all of Mike's head movement, and weaving, you do realize that all the Gorilla has to do is land one punch ANYWHERE on the body, whether it's blocked or not, and Tyson breaks about 5 bones, right?

And Tyson could punch a Gorilla 50 times, and it wouldn't do anything but piss it off.

Just imagine what a punc from one of these would to do any human.

Did anyone hear the story of mike tyson offering a zoo keeper $10000 to open the cage so he could knock out the gorilla?.

The gorilla would have torn Mike into pieces in a matter of seconds.

--- Gorillas' arms are much longer than their legs and their arm span is about 30 cm (1 ft) longer than that of an adult human male. The elongated arms indicate a tree-dwelling ancestry even though gorillas are now primarily terrestrial (ground-dwelling).


--- An adult gorilla's upper body strength is six times more powerful than that of an adult human - enabling them to lift, break, and squeeze heavy objects.

Did prime tyson have the footspeed to be fleet footed , to be able to dance around a gorilla?

If a weed of a man like duran knocked out a horse then tyson could sure as **** knock out a gorilla . A horse is a much bigger animal than a gorilla but a 150 pound man knocked a 2 tonne horse on his ass . Like **** he did .

You need to go to a mental ward and be locked up for the rest of your life. How about you go try it and tell me what happens when you get back k?
