Not sure what bar they'd meet up in.

They tend to hang around different parts of the world.

I guess if they did meet up, there's gonna be some broken furniture.

Gotta go with grizzly. One nicely placed swipe of the claws on that paw and silverboy goes down for the count.

I vote silverback. They have hands on their feet for some serious MMA submission moves, as well as some nasty teeth.

Interesting comments.

I think I’d go grizzly as they’re a distant cousin and I’ve seen The Revenant.

I think silverback. They’re incredibly strong and nimble. I don’t see the grizzly having the agility the gorilla would.

Griz all the way. Double the weight of a gorilla and an extra couple of feet tall. They eat moose and bison for breakfast!

Actually feel this was a classic Canadian backhanded compliment but I’ll let it go.

What's the cause of the fight? Is it over a woman? What's their motivation?

Can't tell who'd win unless I know some basic information.

Grizzly. The strength behind the claws is virtually unsurvivable. We’re lucky they’re not particularly aggressive.

Women. A lot of women. And lineage. And territory. And Rolexeseses. And colognes. And bags. And Corvettes.

Dang, thats a lot of beef to settle... Tumi Bags?

Going to go with the Gorilla... The bear couldn't drive a Corvette. Once you have details... it's easy.

I’d imagine there’s a lot of posturing before the first move. Charging and chest pounding by the gorilla. With the bear standing up and growling. Oddly I think the bear would back down from the fight but win if they had one.

For the love of Jeebus stick to your guns Brian!

You’re not politely asking to return bruised tomatoes at McEwan’s without receipt.

Where’s the TBone street racer and cigarette reseller from highschool ????

I agree with the grizzly picks. One swipe of that paw and the gorilla would lose half its face.

So far by my accountant’s math it’s Grizzly 88.7% vs Silverback 11.3%
