    Who wins? I think the favourite for me would have to be the Grizzly due to its sheer size but I feel the gorilla has a chance due to it strength and agility.

    Are they going to be fighting bare knuckle or do they have slash hooks?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Put them in a ring and gamble and everybody wins.

    Grizzly cannot be trained on AK47.
    Silverback wins.

    Agreed, we want blood.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,564 ✭✭✭✭steddyeddy


    It would be close 70/30 in favour of the grizzly!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 365 ✭✭Bullchomper


    Silverback! No contest - he would outwit his adversary with flashes of brilliance and light footing - pirouette freestyle around the gormless bear beast, deliver a short stab with a primate elbow in to the spine, then it's a half nelson and straight to execution - HELL YEAH!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    in a cage match, the gorilla cos he can climb a bit easier, I'd love to see a royal rumble of gorillas and bears though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    Great question. I think the Bears claws may give it an advantage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,564 ✭✭✭✭steddyeddy


    By the way the most entertaining thing about threads like these is when someone usually a martial artist comes in and says he or some marital arts champion would make mince meat of a gorilla!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 483 ✭✭baltimore sun


    awww, I thought you were gonna have a cool video of a grizzly hopping the ****ę out of a silverback :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,382 ✭✭✭lastlaugh


    Interesting question, I think the Grizzly would win, unless the Silverback pulled his jaws apart like King Kong would.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,541 ✭✭✭Gee Bag


    A more pertinent question.

    If a grizzly bear and a silverback were having prison sex who would be the daddy?

    Silverback is always the daddy!

    This would be a much more entertaining discussion on YouTube where all the qualified 12 year old zoolologists are calling each other fvcking fags and how cheny is much better than obama


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash


    Silverback would kick his ass!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭spank_inferno


    Silverback easily.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,041 ✭✭✭Seachmall


    I don't think the Gorilla would have the intelligence to avoid the brute force attack of the Bear (which on strength and size alone would dominate it).

    With a good strategy the Gorilla could win but I don't see that happening.

    Superman.

    Hmm Silverback for me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash


    A quick google search reveals:
    The animal channel claims that the Silverback Gorilla is stronger than a Grizzly Bear. The show mentioned that a large male silverback has strength to bench press 4600 pounds.

    It makes sense. Gorilla have been around a long time in Africa. They must be able to defend against lions and other big animals.

    It takes 6 grown men to control 1 male chimp. It looks like it would take 16 men that can bench press 300 pounds to take on 1 silverback gorilla.

    then there's this:

    Get the Mary Harney/Brian Cowen "Brawl in The Dail (car park)" on - that's what the real fans want!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,802 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    If we go for the extreme end of the scale, according to google the largest wild male silverbacks can reach about 6' and 510lbs where as the largest male grizzlys have been recorded at over 13' and around 1500lbs

    I think it would be very unfair on Brian to be put up against someone in a much higher weight division. We need to keep it competitive at the end of the day. A gorilla & a bear would be a cracker.

    But can the bear bench press 4600 pounds?

    Win at what?
    If it's scrabble I'd say the Silverback has the edge.

    Although it's known that Bears have a natural ability when throwing darts.



    I'm torn now.

    Doubt it but Theyre unlikely to meet in a gym. The bear will be busy tearing the gorillas face off with its giant claws while the gorilla hits the treadmill.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    Silverback I reckon.



    The Gorilla in this clip is clearly the superior fighter due to his greater intelligence.

    The gorilla would kill the bear with 1 punch to the nose!

    Silverback all day. The Grizzly would be all like "oh snap I thought I was the baddest mofo around this hood" and the Silverback would be giving it "Doubtful"

    True story, my friend once saw it happening.

    Silverback. But what about a silverback vs. a polar bear? If you're going to pick a bear, pick the biggest. Picking an agreeable climate/location that doesn't disadvantage one of the fighters would be difficult though.

    Then you might as well pick the biggest monkey... King Kong Vs polar bear!
