    Whoa George, you were good but NOT that good! Lion scored a flash KD right at the start.

    Boxers and their Big Cats. Of course, later, there was Mikey T also - but we can go all the way back to Bob Fitzsimmons too:-

    I guess that was a 10-8 round for the Lion, George Took a knee to prevent a KO and the lion won the round by showing general ship with defense

    Yep, a 10-8 round.

    Though it did seem to be a phantom punch (or paw).

    And note, immediately upon the KD, Mufasa went straight to a neutral corner - very smart.

    He wasn’t going to fall victim to a long count scenario like the non retreating Dempsey.

    I hope you are joking.
    On another website that I was on before even here-that was largely about boxing-there was a thread about Joe Frazier vs. a Gorilla.

    There were actually some people that believed that he stood any realistic chance.
    Which is...Insane.

    Are you arguing whether that was a slip or not? it clearly was.

    We can't say who's gonna win between a gorilla and a fighter because it has never happened in history. As far as i know gorillas can't make a fist and don't have the balance to throw a meaningful punch

    Y'all trippin. Everyone knows Foreman was planning to pull a Moorer style KO on the lion at the end of the round. The lion even knew it and ran because it saw what happened to Moorer.

    Wow you are not joking.
    OK of course they can make a fist, & they can rear up & smash anyone.
    If you meant can a gorilla win a boxing match against a human, then since they do not understand the rules & would be unwilling to follow them, you can technically say they would be disqualified, thus "lose".

    But even before you got to their massive sharp teeth, just their physical strength & explosiveness would DWARF that of any human.
    Their skulls are unbelievably thick. Foreman would not hurt one, just anger it.
    If you posit a normal, healthy male-just an average one, not a typical Silverback: the human is dead. DEAD.

    You would not even want to mess with say a female chimpanzee.
    Sometimes when angry they have ripped off people's faces & genitals.
    You talking without using weapons or technology or our brains-we are weak.
    And even Usain Bolt is slow compared to many large primates-like Big Cats.

    One thing we can do very well physically, is with practice, run long distances really well.
    Due to our long legs, upright stance, big butt, lungs.
    But otherwise we are Puny.

    I could see what you're saying until i got to the chimpanzee part. I guess you're one of those people that believe chimps are 10 times stronger than the average male and it can crush you with a raise of a finger. If that's the case than there is no point in arguing because you guys are like a cult at this point with Joe Rogan as your leader

    What - you didn’t notice the clear jump in the film when George fell? Clearly an “edit” job - it was a sweeping left paw that did it, vision of same left on the cutting room floor. I’ve seen the “original”, untouched footage -

    Hahaha, I’m kidding of course.

    Huh? Show me anyone who says that chimps are 10 times as strong as humans.
    Not Joe Rogan-who I have plenty of disagreements with.
    Now some have overstated chimp strength, but the average chimp IS much stronger than a human-& that does not even consider there claws & teeth-we have no equivalent.

    Or speed, or climbing ability.
    I was listening to a Dharma talk by am esteemed Buddhist teacher, & he described what you can see on video-some of the best rock climbers in the world struggling nightly for a while to climb up a smooth boulder, & a chimp came along & scrambled right up it.

    Please be precise, 10X? Nobody says that.
    Also you stereotyped me with no cause as a Rogan cultist.
    Without even addressing the correct specifics of what he claimed-so you did not even show whether HE overstated things.

    Please address the actual person & facts in front of you, thanks.
