Did Mike Tyson in his prime have the strength to kill a gorilla with his bare hands?

[boliodogs]

No way in hell. Tyson was very strong but lots of other men were just as strong or stronger. It was hand speed and punching power that made him a heavyweight champion and not weight lifting type strength. His punches that knocked out other men would not knock out a 400 pound gorilla. A full grown gorilla is many times stronger than the strongest man and they love to bite fingers off. If Tyson tried to kill a gorilla he would be the one to end up dead. Even a much smaller 180 pound chimp would kill Tyson in a fight if Tyson had no weapon. These large apes are unbelievably strong and far stronger than the strongest man. They have a bite that takes fingers, noses and yes ears off with ease.

Gorilla's skull is 3 times bigger than Holyfield's. Tyson's punches wouldn't hurt Holyfield. They would feel like a toddler's punches on a gorilla.

Gorilla Skull on the left. Human skull on the right.

look at the head size difference

Maybe Pacquiao’s head size makes sense now?!?

Mike vs a chimpanzee would be more interesting.

Exactly right. If Tyson survived a chimpanzee I'd be very impressed. They would also tear a human to pieces.

I don’t know if you remember, years ago a “pet” chimp, an old one at that, literally tore its owner’s face off with its bare hands. Very powerful creatures. And let’s not forget that their bite would be no fun.

This is the myth that started the BS about chimps being ultra powerful creatures.

It didn't rip her face off with its bare hands, it did all the damage with its teeth.

Chimps are the most overrated animals out there. They have short midget legs which gives them no leverage, and all of their lethality comes from their powerful jaws and thick sharp teeth.

Haha I’m getting a lot of laughs reading some of these comments. Agree with you both. I wonder how many people here would fancy Tyson’s chances with a large pit bull, and we’re here talking about him versus a damn gorilla? Haha

Holy chit.

I'd love to see uncensored footage of this so I can jerk the gherkin because I'm sick like two white dudes ****ing on the White House lawn.

Is there a liveleak or crazy***** link to this blockbuster?
