I recall reading about a "man vs gorilla" debate dating back to the late 1920s. Even Gene Tunney got into it, saying something along the lines that a gorilla's rib cage is significantly different from a man's so that it could not withstand the blows of somebody like Dempsey. I believe that assertion turned out to be inaccurate, and ultimately it was generally agreed that in hand-to-hand combat a man was no match for a gorilla.
