    There's videos online of more "serious" kangaroo boxing matches.

    I don't know why I ended up watching them. You could see Primo was just playing about, ones where they really fight them are pretty terrible.

    There used to be 8' carnivorous Kangaroos in Australia 75,000 years ago. Aborigines humans migrated to the continent and wiped then out. Also marsupial lions.

    I'd like to see that kangaroo shadow boxing before I predict the victor between the kangaroo and Carnera.

    Our our ancestors were the real monsters. Early humans were absolutely insane to go after such things.

    So this carnivorous Kangaroo would come upto Primo's nipple?

    Poor troll thread. Primo could kill the kangaroo whenever he pleased. Almost as ludicrous as the time when people were saying a silver back gorilla could defeat Primo.

    The real question is as follows: could a billion Harry Greb's defeat the sun?

    I reckon there would be enough force generated by the blistering windmills to extinguish the giant star. The argument could be made that this would be Greb's second greatest victory behind Gene Tunney.

    Is the bear an Army Ranger? Does the kangaroo know ninjutsu like Bruce Lee? Is either wearing samurai armor?

    These are serious issues with your scenario that need answering, Nighttrain.
