Dude chimps are 5-8 times stronger than people

“There’s this idea out there that chimpanzees are superhuman strong,” says Matthew O’Neill at the University of Arizona in Phoenix. Yet his team’s experiments and computer models show that a chimpanzee muscle is only about a third stronger than a human one of the same size.

This result matches well with the few tests that have been done, which suggest that when it comes to pulling and jumping, chimps are about 1.5 times as strong as humans relative to their body mass. But because they are lighter than the average person, humans can actually outperform them in absolute terms, say O’Neill.

Chimps have a higher % of fast twitch muscle, which is ideal for a fighting situation.
You also continually take the 100 pound chimp, which is towards the lower end of their size.
Even if we don't get into outlier territory, a normal sized chimp can be as strong as a 200 pound man. So you have a 5 foot tall chimp with the strength of a 200 pound man, more explosive than that man and with razor sharp teeth.
This is more than just a strength comparison.
