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

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.

That’s not the way I remember it; but ok, let’s say the chimp used its teeth. You wanna tangle with that? Do you really believe they’re weak? Their strength in pulls have been tested, and that’s not even a motivated animal. And speaking of...they’re exactly that — animals! Animals are much fiercer than humans. When they’re riled, reality becomes quite clear.

Their pulling strength is another myth. Are you gonna refer to that famous story of a female chimp in a zoo pulling like 1000+ pounds with one arm 100 years ago?

That's a fake story.

They have no pulling leverage because they have short weak legs.

Overrated animals who rely on their teeth to do damage. Yes, their bites make them very dangerous. Nothing else really.

You seem quite expert at this. Lol Here’s a snippet from one article I just looked up (who knows how accurate it is):

“So keeping this in mind, a team of US researchers dug deeper into the wealth of research conducted between 1923 and 2014 and came to the conclusion that a more accurate interpretation of the data is that while chimpanzees are consistently stronger, they are on average only about 1.5 times stronger than us. That still doesn't make it a good idea to get into a wrestling match with one.”

So maybe you’re right to a degree on the strength aspect, but the motherfuckers will still tear you up. Lol

Tyson punching a Gorilla would be the end of Tyson's life.

Yo somebody elaborate (since Akon did not) on how TF are Gorillas the reasons Congo are still at war TILL THIS DAY!!??

[Johnny2x2x]

Gorillas aren’t killers as much as they eliminate a threat to protect their group. So they’d pummel a human until they were down, but might not kill them necessarily. They do use teeth too though and their teeth are insane.

And Chimps are more vicious. If a Chimp attacks you, you will wish you were dead after. Just ask this guy.

“ Davis survived a horrific chimpanzee attack at a California wildlife rescue center in March 2005 - but not before his nose and mouth were ripped off, an eye was gouged out, his left foot was mangled and most of his fingers and buttocks were devoured.” His junk was also torn off.

Have you not seen the Congo movie? They use paddles and ish.

[Gamer30168]

No way. That is a ludicrous idea

[Luilun]

I thought that was chimps, gorillas are muuuuch bigger.

I watched animal planet one time they said one of them is 7 times stronger than a full grown man
