Tiger is easy BPA, well done. Take that anaconda!

(Okay, so a reticulated python isn't *quite* as heavy as an anaconda, and the tiger doesn't actually kill it, but it gets him in his coils and he's just like GTFO and then goes and has a drink of water. If the fight's to the death, the tiger wins easy.)

Honey Badger is a sick pick, their segment on Planet Earth is ****ing nasty. Honestly I like this draft because groups of picks will be equal as long as they are equally as effective in their classes. Honey Badger no more/less valuable than Tiger for the most part.

ok sounds good. badger pick sucks imo. heavyweight division is definitely UFC-esque imo, in that are a couple clear favorites and everyone else is in a second tier but there still are some quality heavyweights on the board. i'll be back manana

Lol, notice the last line of that was "the python tried to wrap another coil around the tiger and lost its grip, and its victim. There's no way the tiger had any chance of winning that fight, it was lucky to escape, and tigers have low stamina too which is how the anaconda won in the youtube I showed.

Also, tiger doesn't even beat lion according to this video:

Noze, curious what species of tiger you are taking as well

I dunno man, that looked like it could have gone either way. Pretty nasty fight

Anaconda obviously destroys jaguar. Tiger != jaguar. Tiger vs. Lion is close, that Animal Face-Off was a good fight, one of my favorite episodes, but I think the lion's win was an upset.

Yeah, and that Tiger wasn't even full grown. Awesome video though, I watched the whole thing. Love the silent movie-esque soundtrack

Real reason I posted it, tbh. I never expected to find anything that awesome when I searched tiger vs python on YouTube.

I will debate this to death when I am not wasted. I'm typing pretty good though. Anyway give me a day or two and I'll debate Lion when it gets picked.

Well I haven't researched a ton of animals, I just found the honey badger and they were too awesome to not pick. I don't see what lightweights will compete with the badger's complete lack of fear and size advantage. Not to mention the long, razor sharp claws.

apparently I am wrong. I based my post of a series I saw a few years ago, but after doing research apparently that show incorrectly thought a Megarachne (prehistoric sea scorpion) was a spider.

Needless to say, there were some large spiders.

I'd take a Bengal tbh. Siberians being bigger is a myth:

The mean weight of historical Siberian tigers is supposed to be higher: 215.3-260 kg for male tigers.[11] At least one authority suspects that this is the difference between real weights and hunter's estimates.[5] Dale Miquelle, program director of the Siberian Tiger Project, writes that, despite repeated claims in the popular literature that the Siberian is the largest of all tigers, their measurements on more than fifty captured individuals suggest that body size is, in fact, similar to that of Bengal tigers.[12]
