What is the largest animal that you think you could beat in a fight?

[Morrus]

Like, a badger maybe? But they're vicious. A really big chicken. Or a bear but it's blindfolded and is wearing boxing gloves and I am in a tank.

OK, without cheating, no weapons. Largest animal you could beat in a fight? Not including humans, obvs.

Without weapons i wouldn't wager on my chances of beating anything larger than a medium sized dog. Tools are how we useless humans tilt the balance.

Bare hands I would not even try a normal cat.

I really don't know, because I don't tend to fight animals very often.

Well, you're fun.

Medium-sized dog. German Shepherd, Doberman, Rottweiler are pretty much absolute limits - I'd survive. Probably. Maybe. Let me keep my delusions.

Domestic Cat.

Domestic Fowl. Geese is a maybe, chickens probable.

Manatees are pretty big. I think I could probably take one of those in the unlikely event the manatee and I could not resolve our differences peacefully.

I think my limit is big dogs. The largest breed in the world gets up to 230lb/104kg. That's big, but I'm bigger. They also have some some weaknesses that other animals can't really exploit, but a human can. Just have to make sure you don't let them get on top of you and focus on their eyes, nose, and groin.

I probably don't win every time, but anything bigger than that is going to beat me 100% of the time.

Bigger doesn't necessarily mean badder. I've seen a pretty big guy mauled by a badger (small). I've also seen a small-ish guy lick an alligator (not small). There's a lot more than goes into this equation than size. [Edit: That said, I'm gonna go alligator, as well. There's a technique that will allow even small guys and gals to wrastle a gator. And I am not small.]

I’m old and in pretty bad shape, but living on the countryside I know for shure I can win against a mouse.
