We were the ones who domesticated them, after all. The only argument is based on the average guy which is a silly argument since nobody knows what the average guy is or what he's capable of in life or death situations. | ||

 I personally think a human could win.. most humans may freeze up and get owned but if the human knew the fight was comming he could win.. i doubt they would get out in tact though.. | ||

If you seriously think a dog would win, hands down, maybe that should be a wake up call to get outside and get some exercise. I don't care how big or strong the dog is, I would win 10/10 times "in a fight." Lol, come on. If you think all it takes is 'being in shape', you are mistaken. Against an average dog, sure. Not against an attack dog, or a brutally large/aggressive dog. It doesn't matter how 'big & fit' you are. What's especially funny is you blame people with other opinions on...their lack of exercise? I've been an athlete all my life, bench around 300, yet I'd never dream of taking on...say...a Mastiff/Shepherd mix weighing around 190lbs, bred to attack, and abused all its life, without any weapons. That's just crazy talk. Or maybe you just don't know much at all about dogs, or have read too many outrageous stories/watched too many movies. Either way for your own good you shouldn't be complacent around the wrong type of dog. For your own good | ||

Do you really think an animal that weighs almost less then half as a human will win in a fight to the death? Get real. The human would win more then 80% of the time. And you're basing this purely off of weight? I'm 6'0 and only weigh 130 lbs. My dad is 6'5 230 lbs. I've whooped his ass more than once in a fight. Weight doesn't mean shit. | ||

I mean, I'm assuming you weren't fighting to the death with him with no retreat allowed... like, part of fighting is just keeping yourself in a high energy state and not giving up. If you fought him until he was unconscious with both of you fighting for your lives, sure, you beat a bigger guy. But on the other hand, dogs don't have like hands and shit. Every human limb is a potential weapon, whereas a dog has only one mouth. | ||

Either way for your own good you shouldn't be complacent around the wrong type of dog. For your own good I completely agree. I've played sports and ran my whole life, I would never dream of fighting a decent sized dog... You think a dog can't take a kick from a human? That's funny, considering their bones and skull are way harder than a humans. And I like how a German Shepard was picked as the dog and people think that makes it easier. Those dogs are on the vicious dog list people, just because they don't look mean doesn't mean they can't rip your face off. Short story + Show Spoiler + We had a German Shepard when I was a kid. He wasn't a large dog, just average sized. My dad came home late one night and wanted to check on the dog (he stayed in a dog house outside our house). Well, the dog was not in a playful mood and bit my dad on the hand. My dad, at the time, was in peak physical condition and a pretty strong guy with large hands. He tried punching the dog in the face, neck and body but nothing worked; if anything it just pissed off the dog more. My uncle had to grab a log of wood and hit the dog on the head, even this was just enough to stun him, make him let go of my dad and shake his head. The next day the dog was fine, but my dads hand was completely shredded. | ||

Weight doesn't mean shit. You're right.Weight doesnt mean shit in a fight. That's why Martial arts arn't based on weight classes. There is no such thing as the lightweight, middleweight, or heavyweight classes. Fighters never get penalized in sanctioned bouts for coming into weighinss overweight because weight doesnt give you an advantage in a fight. You don't have any idea what you're talking about. | ||

Are you seriously saying that if nobody was around and the dog was really going for the kill, your dad would have died that night? I think not. | ||

Every human limb is a potential weapon, whereas a dog has only one mouth. A dog's teeth are also a better weapon than human limbs though, even though they might have only one. For example, you're fighting a guy who has a dagger. Hypothetically speaking, let's say he won't attack you with any part of his body other than the dagger he holds. Would you be confident that you would win against him? Now I'm not saying that I believe that a dog would always win against a human. I think that it would probably depend a bit. I'm just saying to not underestimate a dog. | ||

That's for people who have trained their whole lives for fighting... In that case it does mean something, but considering average people... I don't think so. Otherwise I should have lost every fight I have been in, I was 5'6" in 10th grade. Luckily I grew... | ||

As long as he held on to your dad's arm, even while shaking, going for the eyes is really easy. Are you seriously saying that if nobody was around and the dog was really going for the kill, your dad would have died that night? I think not. I don't think you understand how strong German Shepard's are. I definitely think that if my dad had gotten closer to the dog, it would have gone for his throat and probably gotten to it as well. People don't realize what dogs are capable of. You guys are thinking of lap dogs that stay in the house and are best friends with people. Look at any dog on the vicious dog list and they will be able to kill most humans. | ||
