Who would win in a fight to the death?

Cheetahs, unlike most other cats, do not have retractable claws and their claws are dull(like a dogs).

So who would win: A cheetah or a 200 pound bodybuilder?

Why you asking?
I stan for the

I'm curious.

The cheetah would not engage until the bodybuilder was exhausted.

The cheetah would probably take off before the bodybuilder could even get close to him. They literally run away from any creature that is bigger than them and are extremely weak. Honestly, I don't even know if the cheetah would fight back all that much- and if it did, there wouldn't be much to it besides a few bite marks. Attacking isn't in their nature.

Bodybuilder would win.

Are we talking about the same thing.

Man can out run Cheetah's in long distance races.

A 200+ pounds man?

this is so random. a bulked up man has no agility or momentum to match the fluidity of nature's bodybuilder.

No sharp claws = man wins. He could choke it to death. Cheetahs are lightly built anyways.



You should ask about a mountain lion... that's a more fair comparison.

This one weighed 192 lbs

Well, yeah. Cheetahs have 3 disadvantages when it comes to long distance running against humans in a normal Aftican(hot) day.

1) When running at high speed they must stop because of the lactic acid affecting their muscles, they cramp up.

2) They are tetrapods, which means they waste a lot more energy than bipedals when running.

3) They have a lot more hair, humans can cool off a lot easier in warm conditions.

Holy crap. I didn't know they could get that big.

But does long distance running matter if the cheetah catches the bodybuilder early on.

We were talking about the Cheetah running away from the man.

I hate mountain lions because they kill peoples cats all the time.

I know that, but some body builders run really slow. Was just thinking that by the time they caught up to the cheetah he would be a little more cooled down and could sprint again. That's not the main point of this topic though.

My point of the cheetah running away was just to exaggerate the fact that it'd be "scared" and try to avoid the fight.

So why are you asking this question if you already answered your question?

A cheetah

Yeah, I was assuming neither would run away.

+I think you're underestimating the agility and endurance of a 200 pound bodybuilder. They look great.

I don't think even you know what you are talking about. So I am not sure.

You set no guidelines for how the fight would go down. So I say cheetah would just dodge the bodybuilder until her got tired out. Then kill him.
