Could a man beat a gorilla in a fight?

Question

Pretty simple. I know this kid who saw a show about gorillas and said one weighed 180 pounds, and he was like "dude I weigh 180 lbs too I bet I could kick that gorillas *** in a fight". I told him he was an idiot since gorillas are vicious and have long *** arms and are probably strong as h**l... what do you think, is this guy an idiot?

Answer 1

Set it up dude, get him to do it!

Just make d**n sure you get it on video.

Answer 2

yes i think your friend is an idiot because though he may be strong he is not as strong as he thinks he is

Answer 3

The Gorilla is SO much stronger than a man! It could literally rip the man's limbs from their sockets!

Answer 4

Yes. Gorilla's are extremely strong for their size and weight.

According to American Wildlife Foundation,

Gorilla's are "10 times stronger - than the biggest American football players."

http://www.awf.org/content/wildlife/deta...

'Adult males ... weigh from 310–450 lb. Adult females... averaging 220 lb. Occasionally, a silverback of over 6 ft and 500 lb has been recorded in the wild. However, obese gorillas in captivity have reached a weight of 600 lb.'

'Gorilla's are the largest of all primates and maintain a vegetarian diet (no meat - at all).'

Answer 5

Gorillas are just plain stronger pound for pound. I couldn't find a figure on gorilla strength, but chimpanzees are roughly 4-7 times stronger than humans on average... and I'm pretty sure a gorilla is stronger than a chimp.

So lets say your 180 pound buddy is fairly fit and can bench an even 200. Furthermore, lets say our gorilla was the same as a weak chimp. Our 180 pound pound WEAK gorilla can bench 800 pounds.

Your friend is in the ****.

Youtube karate chimp. They can take us all!

Answer 6

He is e mothership of idiots.

E ape is gonna come down on him like a ton of bricks

Its abt time he wakes up his idea thou

Answer 7

Show him the tug-o-war between the sumo wrestler and the orangutan.

The orangutan held him at bay with one hand until he figured out what what going on. Then he pulled the sumo off the platform with one pull (with one hand)

Answer 8

Even a chimp which is much smaller than a grown man could probably kill a man with no problem.  Pound for pound man is pretty weak physically.

Answer 9

The gorilla would take out the trash with your friends spleen!

Answer 10

Just to add a little to some of the other good answers I was at a NASKA national tournament in Detroit and had checked into this nice hotel down town where it was held at.  About 11:30 PM there was a huge commotion in the next room that continued for about two hours.  It turned out "Charlie-the Karate Chimp" was making an appearance the next day and his handler and he were staying next to me and the handler had stepped out for a while.  He tore that room up and did several thousand dollars worth of damage before his handler returned and got him under control.  That was just a chimp so imagine what a gorilla would do.    

Answer 11

imagine closing your knuckles and walking around on your hands and engaging your entire body in every single physical activity you do...no amount of steroids, martial arts, or anything outside of a high powered rifle would stop an extremely agile and powerful animal...

last i checked we dont climb 200 foot trees to eat a salad...as a matter of fact, take an agile or strong human being...i guarantee they cannot perform half of the physical feats that a gorilla can

i definitely laughed out loud just imagining your friend being serious...if he is...he is a fool...
