    The rat is the only one I'd be confident with the house cat a probable (emphasis on it being a house cat and not semi-feral). I'd fancy my chances over an eagle before a goose. Some medium size dogs would be OK but as above, having had Staffies they are generally very docile but if riled I wouldn't fancy my odds at all and even my 14 week old GSD would be a tough scrap, there's no way I'm beating him when he's fully grown. I suspect most people are thinking PG Tips when considering a chimp, they're vicious bar stewards in the wild.

    how would you lose a fight to a house cat?

    Eventual blood loss if you panic I reckon. Death by a thousand cuts.

    Good luck if you get in the path of our moggie and his food bowl when the food timer goes. It is a vicious whirlwind of claws and teeth and nothing will stop him.

    I reckon if you weren't worried about damage to the cat you could beat it fairly easily.

    That said wild rats give me the creeps more than pretty much any other creature (I've had domestic rats and always like them strangely) and you'd probably die later from Wiel's disease so the victory would be quite hollow.

    I know what you mean - also had pet rats and they are very friendly aren't they.

    Yes agreed. Any animal will inevitably inflict injuries on you, but you could win if you had to.

    The above statement doesn't hold true for stuff like lions and grizzlys though.

    yes, I think it was agreed no social norms and galdiatorial arena in which circumstances the moggy would be launched into row z from the end of your boot

    If conforming to social norms, you'd only need to beat it. Hold it down for a count of three, and the ref bangs the canvas, you win.

    When I was a kid I had a bunch of chickens, geese and ducks and I can tell anyone scared of geese that they would struggle to even break your skin if they did actually try and bite you. Yes they put on a menacing display but it's all a front.

    Wolf - what sub species? Basically it's a big dog isn't it? I imagine it could go either way I might fancy the wolf as it is used to killing.
    Kangaroo - I'd favour the kangaroo but not impossible ?
    Chimp - I know chimps are meant to be super strong but I'm going to say 50:50 against someone in their prime - might be kidding myself but anything that makes a living acting in tea commercials can't be that hard.
    King Cobra - surely you could kill it even if you died afterwards - but then anti venom - so human wins ?
    Large dog - like what? In a fight to the death I'd bet on the person if the person didn't panic - even if I wouldn't want to be that person. There are some breeds I might not - Caucasian Ovcharkas etc.
    Eagle - too light
    Medium dog - I'm pretty sure I could beat a Staffy having owned a few .
    Goose - not even a contest - I'd rather take on a goose than a cat
    Cat - might get a few scratches
    Rat - fighting up too many weight divisions

    it'll rip your face and eyes to bits with its claws whilst spinning round like like a mad thing fighting for its life

    remember - its not the size of the whatever in the fight its the size of the fight in the whatever

    I agree with all that except the chimp. There are plenty of confirmed reports of chimps killing humans and apparently they're strong enough to rip off body parts.

    What is a war dog?

    dogs that they just basically use to rip the enemy to shreds

    you have different kinds of dog - sniffer, security, patrolling, fighting and war.

    no one goes near a war dog. bred for one thing and one thing only and thats in the name.

    tbg, i'm not pucking a fight with any kind if security based working dog - i've worked with police and attack dogs and yeah, you'd die. horribly.

    basically a really angry attack dog.

    'roo will kick phuck out of you.

    razor sharp claws, brain of a pea.

    it'll then kick you around and jump up and down on you.

    nah.

    agree - best thread in ages.

    A king cobra is pretty sizeable.



    I'm interested how you're beating that unarmed if it's in a fighty mood.

    Again, in my head I'm getting round the back of it, blindsiding it, grabbing its tail and stamping the sh1t out of it's head.

    Or, picking it up by it's tail,swinging around my head and then bashing it's head in off the floor.

    i think a lot of this also depends on how much pain you can take - i mean, the standard clubbie is pretty weak and would probably get taken down by a pigeon or two, but get some bloke from mortar platoon 1 PARA in and his lack of pain/brain cells and thug strength would probably carry him the dog/goose/chimp level.

    I fancy myself to happily take on anything goose or medium dog, but after that? A wolf? nah.

    and how are you expected to fight a crocodile with your bare hands? its a prehistoric killing machine.

    this thread is mega.
