Unless it got your throat in the first attack just get your arm around the throat and choke it out. That would be my strategy anyway

Id like to think I would win against most of the dogs. Maybe some of these biggest dogs would be a toss up. Like someone mentioned, you'd probably have to sacrifice your arm to get to the neck for the choke job.

Soft. Full grown adult male grey wolf is 150 lbs tops. I can absolutely take it in a 1 v 1.

The mastiff breeds are going to destroy you. And sacrificing an arm? When it tears into an artery you're going to have problems. When it bites your groin you're going to have problems. If it gets your throat it's over. And you think it'll just stay still for a choke? It'll get loose squirming, scratching and biting. This reminds me of posts in the thread where people claimed they could defeat a chimpanzee.

This is like saying you can take down an average MMA fighter because you weigh 100 lbs more than they do.

Sure, but an MMA fighter is intelligent and can hurt me in several ways. The only way a wolf can meaningfully hurt you with with a bite. There is a massive difference in what kind of threat exists.

No matter the breed one strong kick to the throat and it’s over.

As someone in law enforcement that's seen many German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois go to work, dogs that are trained to aggressively attack human weaknesses without backing down will win 100% of the time. I've seen them take all sorts of blows and even gunshots and keep tearing up that arse.
These dogs are typically in the 100lbs range, now imagine the larger breeds with the same aggression. That being said, there's a reason those two breeds are mostly used and it isn't because of size.

I've seen it happen firsthand. It was indeed not over

What about an average sized man and Tibetan Mastiff versus a grizzly bear?
2v1 in a fight to the death with a grizzly with no weapons? Grizzly walks away unscathed and both opponents dead or bleeding out within 1 minute.
You MIGHT get a decent fight against an American black bear.

Dog bites both thumbs off in first 10 seconds.
There are two gushy empty sockets where its eyes were and it’s being choked before that happens. I’m a pretty large breed myself too.
Big cats are a different story. Any big cat that is about 70 lb or more, you’re in trouble.

I did some research. many yeas ago, on Rottweilers..
According to information Rottweilers were developed in the middle ages as Companion Dogs for Rich folks who were traveling. That was prior to the invention of gun powder and side arms.
The traveler would place his valuables in a pouch and attach it to the dogs collar. The highwaymen were deterred from attacking.
The article explained, when present day men, even with a wooden staff, attempted to subdue the Rottweiler dogs, they were unsuccessful
I doubt Rambo could overwhelm a dog with a Rottweilers bulk and strength.

You ever watch those videos when they send the police dog after someone and once the dog gets on them they are screaming like little girls? A German Shepard will frick up a human's life. The humans advantage is the ability to grab a weapon.
But my two little dogs.. One is a terrier mix and the other is a weenie dog chihuahua mix. If they ever decided to jump me, i'd wear their asses out.

It’s because they are scared. I’m scared of no dog and will let that dog know it. Dogs know when you’re scared and when you are not.
There are lots of scared folks in this thread.

Using your hands can be an advantage.

the Wolf is faster than you are.
and his entire life is all about survival, kill and eat. that's all he does.
so size alone isn't the only determining factor.

this. if it was a real fight to death then human has to play dirty. People underestimate how strong a big dog is, and how much pain they can take. Unless you are mike fricking Tyson, i can guarantee you that you are knocking out a 100+ lb dog who is hell bent on killing you with a punch. That's if he doesn't grip your relatively slow moving fist in its crushing jaws.
A fit and relatively strong male would need to get the dog in a bad position to choke it to death, rips its eyes out, or render one of if its limbs unusable. You are assuredly getting bit and latched onto in this process, so its not like your coming out unscathed.
