Reply to comment by Grease__ in Do you think you could beat a chimpanzee? by Hour_Spend1678

Entirely possible lol this is outside my area of expertise so i dont know shit. But it raises an interesting question, above average sized chimp versus someone like francis ngannou or mike tyson. I have a real tough time giving the definitive advantage to the chimp.

Are their skulls vastly more resistant to impacts than ours?

Idk about their skulls but their necks are much more robust than ours by nature. They’re more compactly built, so knocking them out like human boxers traditionally do would not be as easy as you may imagine.

Chimps can charge you at 25mph, it doesnt matter who you are a 130lbs of muscle will knock you flat on your ass at that speed. After that the fight is a grapple and Human Fighters dont stand a chance since they have every advantage.
