Oh so you don’t think I could slay a 40 foot sea beast with my bare hands? Sonofabitch…

Lol, you are of course the exception…Especially is you ride a pack of wild dogs into battle!
Fucked either way, but with a weapon, I guess bear would be the choice.
Still better than fighting a shark in a tornado

I think your combat skills are confined to land-based canines.

Non-projectile weapon #2: stun grenade[/quote]
A stun grenade is a good idea, but then what? You gonna kill a stunned Grizzly with your teeth??[/quote]
I was planning on stuffing it in his mouth. I think that would eliminate the need for more action on my part.[/quote]
Hmmm ya, I suppose. I hope you pick your least favorite arm…
An agressive giant crocodile in waist-high water?
Might as well be a strapped you vs an electical chair that’s about to get switched on.
Grizzly, easily a no-brainer - even though survival seems unlikely versus an aggressive one.
Shark vs Snake
The snake, again you need no brain here.
Wolverine vs Komodo Asshole
Wolverine, hands down.
It will get bloody but you can win this with the right killing device and a huge adrenalin rush.
There are very few people who have actually survived a flesh wound from a Komodo Lizard.
Jaguar vs Cougar
The Jaguar is probably the best pound for pound killer on earth .
It’s a bigger leopard. A feline ninja on steroids.
He will get your throat or spine with that nasty, nasty bite in seconds, surprise or no.
Cougar, hands down.
A scottish broadsword will not cut most of these animals deep enough to stop it in its tracks.
When the beast is on you, you cannot really cut or stab anymore.
It’s nearly useless. Just as the ‘tactical’ axe.
The roman gladius would be a far better choice.
An african club is just as useless, the Massai hunt in HUGE groups where they basically harry the big cat to death.
One-on-one combat vs a lion would be insanity.
Who would you rather fight?
A medieval knight in full armour, axe, sword and dagger at hand?
You can chose any weapons known to men up to 15th Century.
I’d take the Knight simply because their armor & weapons will reduce their agility and should tire them out more quickly.
Nothing against the viking raider, but both the knight (esp. him!) or the legionary will kill him dead.
They made an impact on history because :
a) the so called viking period is a part of our western history. Chinese probably know them from video games only.
b) they had no real, tough enemies. Europe had few leaders, no good armies, weak military tradition.
I would take the Legionnaire. They acted more efficiently as a fighting unit rather than one on one combat. Knights excel at solo battle. A Legionnaire was an average position in the Roman military. Knights were soldiers of distinction who also donned superior gear than the average fighter had.

That’s a good point.

This was exactly my thought. The legionnaire was trained and equipped to fight as part of a unit. They really didn’t have tactics for single combat. For that reason, I would even pick the Viking to beat the legionnaire in single combat.
As far as the knight, if we’re talking about the best armor developed in the 13th to 14th century, you should consider that it was practically impenetrable and didn’t really restrict movement. On the other hand, knights on foot wouldn’t cover their faces as per the picture since breathing and peripheral vision are sort of important in combat. Of course, you could always choose the same equipment, but odds are he’s better at it than you are. You’re only real option is something really big and smashy that would get through the armor.

I don’t mean to come off as cocky, but I feel I’m fully capable of taking on a full grown Grizzly Bear. They might weigh upwards of 500lbs, but I can yoke well over 700, and lets be honest, if I’m opted to deadlift it, I will do so, and incapacitate the beast. I’ve got a pretty good grip, so I don’t think it’s going to be able to get out of my clutch, and as for it’s teeth, I’m very quick. They call me the Steel Wizard.

There’s a lot of things you’re not considering, my friend. Treat the bear as a living sandbag.[/quote]
That’s interesting insight, friend. But a 500lb sandbag is even out of reach by the most elite strongmen. Perhaps, I should drill handles into the bears spine allowing me to deadlift him, thus dominating him and killing him.
[/quote]
That’s kind of the point. A fighter is essentially always able to deadlift the weight of his opponent in strict bar weight. Yet one of them will lose.
In regards to the jaguar vs. caiman, that is really awesome. I wouldn’t have expected there to be that big of a difference between a jaguar and a mountain lion since they both look to be about the same size and probably have largely similar evolutionary forces driving them to be more aggressive and dangerous. [/quote]
They are not the same size. That’s an illusion.[/quote]
That’s because jaguars are into bodybuilding.
