Rajasaurus

[I swear this never happens to me]

I would say allosaurus. It seems to be the same length as allosaurus, and its only advantages are being more stocky and fat, having horns and studs, and being able to open its jaw extremely wide.

Rajasaurus, weight is a crucial factor in theropod battles, the 2 most important factors in a theropod battle is bite force and weight. I can't say anything about bite force for Rajasaurus, but I assume it's around 8000 newtons, around the same as Allosaurus. But Rajasaurus is around 0.5 tonnes heavier than Al from what I've read.

Yes bit allo is faster, has teeth better for slashing and ripping, claws, and is just less fat and usless

[TheBatman368]

Yes, Allosaurus was probably faster, but speed doesn't matter right now it's a fight, not a race.
Allosaurus does have a good bite for ripping through flesh, Rajasaurus's bite wasn't for slicing like a Carnosaur or for crushing through bone like a Tyrannosaur, it was for gripping on flesh, it would bite and not let go, shaking it's prey about and eventually wounding it, but against similar sized theropod adversaries, gripping is'nt a good method of attack, the best is crushing, (Remember, this applies to theropods, NOT all animals, just theropods.) followed by slashing and ripping and finally gripping. Gripping is the worst kind of bite you can have in a battle of theropods. Allosaurus's claws are more powerful than Rajasaurus's but they're still not that powerful to be used as a very effective weapon on an animal larger than itself. Also, fat contributes to weight and, as I've said before, that is a crucial factor in a theropod fight.

[I swear this never happens to me]

Well yeah, but why do you keep saying that some attributes are better than others in a theropod fight?

[TheBatman368]

Because they are. Weight will give you the power and bite force will give you the ability to harm an opponent. Large theropods aren't that agile so they'll almost always attack head on, biting the skull of the other. If it has slashing teeth and it bites the skull, well not much is going to happen, because the skull basically has all the blood INSIDE of the actual skull. So not much is gonna happen as slashing teeth won't get inside of the skull as they won't get through the bone, while crushing teeth will and will cause MASSIVE blood loss and it'll crush the skull too. But neither Rajasaurus or Allosaurus has the crushing bite here. Look at it like this, would you rather be smart in a chess game or strong in a chess game? Would you rather fight Mike Tyson as Usain Bolt or Bruce Lee? Exactly, some attributes are better than others in a certain type of battle, game or whatever else.

[I swear this never happens to me]

Well they both have small bite forces I would say that both would go for the less protected area, the neck. Allosaurus would be faster and tear its throat out with its razor sharp teeth. Mabye weight will give you power in a sumo wrestle but most of rajasauras' weight is in his fatass body, which will not be in contact with much.

That there is some pure nonsens!

[I swear this never happens to me]

Where exactly?

I've already pointed that out for you

[I swear this never happens to me]

Unless they are pushing against each other weight will not help.

[I swear this never happens to me]

Size will, but they have the same hight and length, it's just that Rajasaurus was fatter.

[TheBatman368]

Weight is size, Giraffes may be taller than an Elephant but it's not as big. If I'm 6 feet tall and and 60 kg but another person is 5 feet tall but 100 kg, the other person is larger. Also Al has to get in range to bite the neck and Rajasaurus isn't going down in one bite.

[I swear this never happens to me]

If is completly different for quadrupleds, as they ram each other. With theropods their heads will be the ones fighting, hot their entire bodies.
And I am pretty sure I could beat up someone that overweight.
