Could you 1v1 a dog in a fight to the death?

Any and all breeds.

Can a physically fit male 1v1 any dog in a fight to the death?

Trending social media posts are men saying absolutely no way they are losing to any dog, no matter the breed.

I say bullshite. Kangal, Tibetan Mastiff, and even a German Shepherd win in a fight to the death against a physically fit human male.

Both are pretty fricking tough when it’s life or death. I think each would win some and lose some. Truly a 50/50 situation

There are some dog breeds that a human certainly couldn’t take, no?

You get one or both hind legs and you Hulk-Loki that sumbitch until it gives up or dies. If it gets its teeth on you, you take its eyes out.

Im a pretty fit dude and probably in the top 1% in strength of the general population. I once haymakered a big catahoula that got after me and he shook it off like it was nothing. I couldn't use my hand for the next week and he was fine. I'd say yeah I could take a golden retriever or a lab but I'm getting torn apart by a kangel or something like that.

You fighting to death definitely going to go in dry. If I die at least the dog didn't enjoy it.

The second its teeth get ahold of you, you’re going to squeal like a monkey and try to run away.

I was running and got attacked by a breed of peace. I gave him my forearm and he took it and shook it like a great white. I stuck my thumbs in his eye sockets and I bursted his eyeballs like ballons. He was whimpering when I left him.

My dog of choice in my life death battle would be a wiener dog/dachshund. I would try to gets it’s back and go for rear naked choke and hope I could lock it in.

I’d say a LGD, GSD, Mal, Boerboel, pit bull, and more could take man down. Let Darwin work.

Yep, and the dog will not be amused by the running. Good luck to that poster and his theory

I've been in it with some dogs, a beagle, pitbull, German shepherd one time. Now granted these were all pets that were trained and when shite hit the fan I did what I did and they backed down so not necessarily to the death. Still walked away with some scars.

I will say humans have the upper hand if they can get it to the ground. That sounds stupid saying it out loud, but it's true. If you get a dog on its back, you can take control of the situation. In pretty much every case, a person will need to basically sacrifice an arm to get control.

To the death, I'd say human 90% of the time.

I’d rather tango with a 150 pound dog than a 70 pound cat

But put me on team dog. I think people are under estimating how big and strong some of those mastiffs are

I would say strength/fitness matters less than knowing how to control a dog. If you use your hands, you lose basically every time. If you can manage to control with your feet, you’re probably going to end up with one torn up leg, but you’ll have much better odds.
