The terms of the fight are fairly unclear.

That said, I've been doing a hell of a job destroying the entire global ecosystem, just by being a part of western society.



Do I win?

No, it has to be in the ring.  What other terms do you need?

It's you, in a ring, with some other animal.  Both naked.  One of you kills the other.  The end.

How big is the ring?

Also, "could kill" or "would kill"?

Good point. Lets talk about the purse first. I mean rotties are nice dogs. Gotta be at least a 6-pack at stake or there's no way I'd kill them.

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

Could.

Let's say diameter of the ring is 50 feet.  Yes, I'm Canadian and I work in feet.  What of it?

Do we have a consideration for aquatic animals?  Is a platform of moderate size (2 meters.  Yes I'm from the US and I can work in meters, what of it?) allowed?

I'm pretty sure that given enough time, I could kill any herbivore... even an elephant or a rhino.

Sure, I'll go with that.

How the fuck are you going to kill an elephant with your bare hands? "Given enough time" that they starve to death is cheating  :argh!:

Herbivores are prey, and therefore have different innate reactions than predators.  Being non-threatening to prey is different than being non-threatening to predators.

Sure, I'll go with that.

Then I am confident I can take on a 250 lb. shark, toothy variety, exact species irrelevant, with a reasonable chance of sucess.

I'd second the shark thing but I still maintain the rotties would be more of a crowd pleaser (win or lose)

Do I win?

No, it has to be in the ring.  What other terms do you need?

It's you, in a ring, with some other animal.  Both naked.  One of you kills the other.  The end.

if we're both naked, it's not even fair. I'll take anything and win.

ECH,
legendary for fighting naked.

ECH,
not joking about that either.
