That orangutan wasn't even trying. Great apes are around 10 times stronger than humans

Yea its amazing. Theres a huge underestimation of the strenght of the great apes. Mike tyson famously offered a zookeeper ten thousand to knock out a male silverback gorilla ie on of these things:

Leopard all the way, against any breed of dog!

Boerboels were bred to defend against animals larger than leopards. My boerboel would have that leopard for breakfast.

Their actually sometimes used illegally by poachers to try and attack gorillas they always die unfortunatly but they put up a good fight by all accounts.

No you're wrong. The question is posed in a gladatorial type area, the bigger, stronger animal always wins.

Dogs, whether you're talking about the biggest or most ferocious like boerboels strengths rely in their ability to operate in a team and hunt in packs. A dog like a boerboel would be no match for a big cat in a one on one scenario. The teeth and jaws of domestic dogs, regardless of whether they are pit bulls or mastiffs, cannot compete with that of the big cats.

I would imagine the ranchers that used Boerboels relied on it's ability to deter and scare off bigger predators looking to pred on cattle /sheep. I would say it was rare the Boerboels actually fought with them.

People also need to consider that a big cat would rarely venture near a human settlement unless it was pretty much starving. This means it is either too old to hunt effectively or injured, so even if a fight did occur it would hardly be in it's prime.
