Which animal could you beat in a fistfight?

The world is full of many diverse creatures, from weird and wacky ones like the blobfish to elegant ones like a peacock. Some are killers; some are not. Some are strong, and some are smart. Which animal do you think you could beat in a fistfight?

Now, this is more complex than you think; there are quite a few factors that come into play when considering this.

What factors decide which animal you can beat?

Body type

There are three main body types:

Mesomorph: A more athletic build, people with this body type typically have more muscle mass and less fat; they can burn off fat easily and gain muscle quickly.
Endomorph: A slightly more balanced build, this body type has a decent amount of muscle mass along with fat, although it is a bit stockier than the other two.
Ectomorph: A leaner body type, generally with a long bone structure. People with this body type often have less muscle mass and fat.

Speed

Now, speed plays a significant role in a fistfight. Even if you’re stronger than your opponent, if they’re too fast for you to punch, there’s no chance of you even hitting them!

Intelligence

You might be wondering why intelligence is a factor in a fistfight. Well, if your opponent is stronger, bigger, and faster than you, the only advantage you would have over these primitive animals is your larger brain! How are you going to beat a lion without using your head?! Think quickly and devise a plan to help you conquer your opponent.

What you should know

Let’s get straight to the point! Here’s what you should know:

No kicking, only fists! It’s called a fistfight for a reason!
To make things a bit fairer, these animals have all been scaled to the size of an average human.
Assume every animal you fight has fists.
Both you and your opponent will be in a “fight or flight” state to make sure you fight as if your life depends on it. Because it does.
