Fighting a chimp - 12 November 2009 11:41
Following on from the poor lady who was attacked by a chimp,

Could you fight/win/survive a chimp attack??

Aren't they something like 8 to 10 times stronger than an average man??

Don't know how easy if even possible it would be to knock out/choke out a chimp??

Thoughts please?

I'd smash a chimp in

I do a lot of push ups and sit ups. And I drink plenty of milk.

I doubt the figure 8 to 10 to be honest. You must also remember that the average man is a lot weaker than most people on here.

I would work the jab and keep my feet moving. Then when I've worn him down I'd hit him with so many right hooks that he's be begging me for a left.

"The male common chimp is up to 1.7 m (up to 5.6 ft) high when standing, and weighs as much as 70 kg (154 lb); the female is somewhat smaller."


They sound likes pussies, tbh.

Re:Fighting a chimp - 12 November 2009 11:54

A bloke gets a job at the local zoo and on his first day he goes to the head keeper and asks what he wants him to do. The head keeper tells him to clean out the tropical fish tank.

So he is busy scrubbing the sides of the tank with all the brightly coloured tropical fish darting about, when a great big monstrous fish swims up and bites his hand. He tries to shake it off but it won't let go and in desperation he starts to hammer the creature against the side of the tank.

Eventually it lets go but sadly it dies in the struggle and floats to the top. "Sh*t!" thinks our man, first day on the job and I've killed one of the exhibits, what am I going to do? He decides he has to get rid of the evidence and the lions look like the best bet because they will eat anything.

Stuffing the fish under his coat he sneaks off to the lions enclosure and while no one is looking he lobs it over the fence where it is devoured by the lions.

He goes back to the head keeper and asks what he wants him to do next. The keeper tells him to sweep out the monkey cage. So he is merrily shovelling up the muck from the bottom of the monkey cage when - splat! a lump of turd hits him on the back of the head. He turns around to see a playful pair of chimpanzees gibbering with delight at their new game.

Our man gives the mischievous monkeys a firm stare and tries to carry on cleaning the cage - splat! goes another turd, and splat! another makes a direct hit. For an insane moment our new boy's patience snaps and in a fit of rage he swings round with his shovel and clatters the 2 monkeys, killing them stone dead.

"Sh*t and double sh*t!" thinks our man, look what I've done now, what am I going to do? So he thinks to himself, the lions worked last time maybe I'll try it again, they eat anything don't they? He drags the dead monkeys to the lion enclosure and lobs then over the fence where they are promptly devoured by the lions.

Again our hapless worker goes to the zoo keeper and asks what wants doing next. Where he is told to collect the honey from the Amazonian killer bees. He is busy pulling the honey filled boards from the beehive when a bee stings him, then another and another until the whole swarm of bees is buzzing angrily around his head. In a panic he lashes out with the honey soaked board and batters every last bee into a pulp. "Sh*t, Not Again!!!" he thinks and as you might have guessed the lions eat anything, so again he takes the evidence to the lion enclosure and throws it in, where they are devoured by the lions.

The next day a new lion is delivered to the zoo. He strolls into the lion enclosure and meets the rest of the lions.

"Hello" he says.

"Alright" say the other lions

"What's it like here then?" asks the new lion

"Not bad" say the other lions

"Food ok?" enquires the new lion

"Yeah, brilliant, yesterday we had Fish, Chimps and Mushy Bees!"

I'd tempt him with a banana and then when he is distracted, land a huge haymaker on the chin and knock him out. Easy.

Depends on whether its one of these ones (they would be far to drunk to fight back)

Good find. Pretty much sums up my original thinking. So bodybuilders like ourselves would probably be at least equal if not stronger than the chimp.

Yes, but it also says, "But the "five times" figure was refuted 20 years after Bauman's experiments. In 1943, Glen Finch of the Yale primate laboratory rigged an apparatus to test the arm strength of eight captive chimpanzees. An adult male chimp, he found, pulled about the same weight as an adult man. Once he'd corrected the measurement for their smaller body sizes, chimpanzees did turn out to be stronger than humans—but not by a factor of five or anything close to it."

I doubt the figure 8 to 10 to be honest. You must also remember that the average man is a lot weaker than most people on here.

I would work the jab and keep my feet moving. Then when I've worn him down I'd hit him with so many right hooks that he's be begging me for a left.

Its true though. I challenged a friend of mine to have a go on the bench. He huffed and puffed getting 35 kilos up. I doubt he would be able to do much more than that! The gf actually managed 35 as well which was funny!

They are only gonna cause damage if you let them get in close.  If you were skilled, you could win, a nicely timed kick to the jaw.  If this was a Gorilla you were talking about then no chance lol, they are absolute beasts.

I think you'll find they can move a damn sight faster than you or I if they want to...  they can also take a fair bit more damage I'll bet...

None of you seen Kongo for crying out loud???

Not even motion sensor guns can stop them damn things!

On a "serious" note, youve only got to worry about their teeth, as no matter how strong they are, they arent trained fighters.

I have no idea what poundage they could produce from a bite, if its high, id pass as youd have no chance, if it wasmt hard enough to break bone, I reckon most of us would do one over tbh.

Can anyone remember that BBC drama series where this lad was half ape, half human but he looked like a totally normal human (but could climb trees and all matter of cool stuff).  IIRC his name was Gordon.

Anyhoo, the last episode showed him reintroduced to his ape mother and she pummled him.

I think the outcome of that said series answers the conundrum adequately.

I'm guessing even someone like Mobster would not have the grip strength of a male chimp. Then again no chimp would be much good at bench press. We're strong in different areas as we're different anatomically

Chimps can throw themselves around and rip things apart more effectively than we can, also they have large teeth, thick skulls, and strong jaws, therefore I'd give a chimp an advantage in a fight

Love the terrible joke btw lol

They're probably quite hard to hit.
they've got a long reach, all limbs flying about all over the place  and not much body to aim for.

if it played by Queensbury rules I'd have a go.
