In 1988, the boxing king Tyson at his peak was invincible, it can be said that he fought invincible in the boxing world that year, and he also dared to fight the world. Once Tyson revealed in an interview that at his peak, he once wanted to bribe the keepers of the New York Zoo with $10,000, and wanted to have a peak duel with a silverback gorilla, but was refused.
Although the battle of the Tai Gorilla was not successful, it aroused people's curiosity: can Tyson defeat the silverback gorilla at his peak?! What are the odds of winning a human-gorilla showdown?
First, it is necessary to understand the size and strength of the silverback gorilla. Silverback gorillas are currently the largest primates existing on earth, adult male gorillas can reach an upright height of 1.8 meters, arm span of about 2.5 meters, weight of more than 200 kilograms, they not only have extremely terrifying upper limb strength, silverback gorillas punch a weight of a ton! At his peak, Tyson had a record weight of 800 kg in one punch! Two canine teeth up to 5 centimeters long are also absolute killers, and the silverback gorilla as the leader is the strongest overlord in the group. They possess great muscle strength and huge teeth that are enough to easily bite large wild animals such as lions and tigers.
By comparison, boxing champion Tyson is about 178 centimeters tall and weighs nearly 100 kilograms. Although Tyson has advantages such as agility and boxing skills, his strength and size are far less than that of the silverback gorilla. Therefore, the conclusion is that Tyson cannot defeat the silverback gorilla.
As for whether humans can compete with gorillas, it depends on the situation. Generally speaking, there is a large difference in strength between humans and gorillas, but humans can use weapons such as instruments to improve their combat effectiveness. At the same time, wisdom and technical means can be used to invade the habitat and territory of gorillas, so the victory or defeat of this struggle does not always depend on the strength of the force. However, it should be noted that the confrontation between humans and gorillas is very dangerous, which may cause injury and even death to both humans and animals. Therefore, human beings should respect animals and jointly maintain ecological balance by protecting the ecological environment of animals.
