I Could Beat Any Wild Bear

6% of Americans think they could fight in hand to paw combat with a brown bear. Considering they can keep up with horses, weigh 600lbs on average, and have razor sharp teeth and claws I think 6/100 people in the US might be in trouble. I could almost certainly win a sanctioned boxing match against any wild bear. Not to brag, but I would probably win the fight in less than a minute. As soon as the bell was rung, I would be immediately mauled. But biting is a foul in boxing. The bear would be disqualified for committing an intentional foul that caused injury, and I would be awarded the win. Presumably posthumously.

A Reddit post claims that some Americans believe they could fight a brown bear, followed by a comment joking that the commenter would technically win a boxing match because the bear would be disqualified for mauling and biting them. The punchline is the absurd distinction between winning the match and being killed, making it useful as a reaction to overconfident or technically correct arguments.
