The fraction is probably higher. But only because Lions are absolutely abysmal boxers.

I think the reason is that very few people have ever run into a lion in the wild. I think one encounter would probably change the a lot of people's mind in that regard. Considering what a pitbull can do to a human being, imagine what 750 lbs of pure muscle and teeth will do?

Sure, if the lion fights lion-style we stand little chance barehanded.

I agree 😵

Seeing one in a zoo was enough for me.

Naw, dudes be hyping themselves up. Acting like they can take Tyson in his prime and shit. Because it's gay to know your limits or something.

Mom had mountain lions rescued as cubs. When I was 20-something, and much more badass than now 😅, I decided to fight Tasha on the living room floor.

That 90lb., declawed girl opened a 55-gallon drum of whoop ass on me. I'd tell you about, but I didn't see it. All I got was a tawny blur and I was on my back getting my hat forcibly removed, along with a healthy hank of long hair. (She hated men's hats, no one ever found out why. Not men. Just men's hats on a man's head.)

I no longer have any illusions about fighting a rabid 'possum.
