Can an aging, shot alpha male boxer annihilate an in-his-prime beta male boxer?

[Real King Kong]

That's exactly why you don't know that there is a natural hierarchical order of things. We live in a society that basically has a safety net for the weakest amongst us. If this was a different time most weak men would have no means of survival. But you can still tell even today that not all men are created equally.
Some men are born stronger, smarter, and more capable than others. Usually these would have been considered the alphas in ancient times. Today, they are just the guys who are successful business men, athletes, or entrepreneurs.

I might agree if everything wasn't so convoluted by money and wealth. our society has evolved to the point of natural order being virtually eliminated. many of the notions about hierarchy in animal groups has been since proven antiquated...in the wild they are usually in more of a family structure, where hierarchy is determined similar to our own families. many of the studies that led to the conclusions about alpha, beta etc. were done on individual animals put together in captive settings. this would be similar to studying human behavior in a prison.
