A caveman v professional boxer
Discussion
Sorry in advance for a silly thread after a few beers... but this is the result of what turned into a lively and at times heated pub conversation between normally rationale people..So, a professional boxer goes back in time and comes face to face with a caveman. It kicks off.
The key points being made.
Caveman:
He is basically a killing machine. No training, just raw instinct.
It's what he does everyday in order to stay alive and always has done.
In order to have become an adult, he would have taken more than a few knocks.
He'll have animal aggression that a modern human will not possess any more.
He'll use stones and maybe a club.
He'' be small and quick and use all sorts of dirty tactics.
Professional boxer:
Modern advances mean he'll be bigger.
He knows how to hit people with the intention of them not getting up again.
He trains everyday and is at the height of his physical fitness and strength.
He can handle being hit by things / people.
He'll be quick and have good reflexes.
One well landed punch would do the job - end of.
Who would your money be on then?
Well, I went with caveman.
But...
I was told that a caveman would have been about 5ft tall (is this true?) and whippet thin vs a 7ft boxer. The power differential would have been huge.
Also, cavemen used to hunt in a group to bring down big prey.
And they tended to 'ambush' as opposed to 'straight combat'.
All I'll say is that my mate put up a convincing argument, but seemed to know way, way too much about cavemen!!

Caveman with rocks and a club. Put it this way. I could take on Mike Tyson and win. Cos I'll get in the ring with a 3 foot long razor sharp ninja sword and cut his hands off before he can take a swing at my masked face. I don't think they learn how to disarm ninjas in boxing school.
boxers im sure could pick up a big stick too
ds. Assuming no weapons, it would be technique vs brute strength.I want to say caveman, as in all that daft ocatagon based agga boxers always get caned by wrestlers, ninjas, and ear biters. However, if it all kicked off and there were no projectiles, I'd douby anything could stay standing after a smack from tyson, lewis, etc etc.
mind, we didn't clarify what the size of the pugelists were. Or if they were pikeys...
