    You stand absolutely no chance against a chimp in unarmed combat. They’ve literally ripped people’s faces off.

          According to that article, about 1.5 times stronger. There’s a lot more deviation than that in the human population. So going by that article, if the type of person who could take on a wolf got lucky enough to be matched with an average chimp, I think they’d have a chance. Especially if they can think of a way to take advantage of the chimp’s poor endurance (also in the article).

            Chimps get up to 5ft tall and can have an 8 foot wingspan.

              Humans get up to 2 m (6,75 feet) tall, of course there are even taller people but this is still a healthy size. Also chimps weigh like 70 kg max while a human can be healthy weigh more than 90 kg. The question is if we get a matched opponent in terms of strength and body weight relative to their own species.

        You’re right, I didn’t think about your intense face strengthening regime you will be conducting in preparation for this.
