Please, don't say you're going to post a fight, just write it and surprise us. Also, please don't post multiple discussions in a short period of time. Try to limit yourself to one, maybe two discussions a day.

MemberCompsognathusAug-07-2014 6:00 PMDude you can't do this either, those are the generic versions of their more popular counterparts. Not angry, just dont practically pit the exact same dinosaurs you did last ;)

MemberTyrannosaurus RexAug-07-2014 6:03 PMActually, Tarbo and Oxaliaia are about the same weight at seven tons or so, though Tarbo may be slightly larger.
I see nothing wrong with Alio vs Irritator.

MemberTyrannosaurus RexAug-07-2014 6:05 PMIt's on the fence. I see no reason why not (other than the one), but hey, a fight's a fight.

MemberCompsognathusAug-07-2014 6:24 PMIt normally is calm around here, until somebody either posts a very controversial discussion or tries to prove someone wrong over their statement.

Anyways. Tarbo didn't get 7 tons. Not as a normal size anyway,
Tarbosaurus is not like a mini Tyrannosaurus either, contrary to popular belief.. Tarbosaurus has a more gracile skull, so I wouldn't say it has that much of a strong bite. As a guesstimate, its bite should be around ~1-2 tons.
lateral view restorations will give you a decent impression of the robusticity in vertical direction, which is the most important, though not that much the lateral strenght (only relevant for an animal that shakes or grips prey).
Here’s tarbosaurus in dorsal and lateral view, compared to T. rex.
Obviously this is an animal with a more narrow skull and lower bite force and lateral skull strenght than T. rex (considering it’s skull is barely wider than Allosaurus’). However that alone means nothing.
What I find strange though is that despite this, it is described as having mediolaterally thickened teeth, similar To T. rex. This would imply it had a similar tooth design but a weaker bite, which would indeed be disadvantageous. However its dentition also displays differences, such as more and lower, anteroposteriorly longer teeth, so I’m not sure about it.
A 9.5- 10 meter, 3.4 ton animal vs an 11 meter, 4 ton animal? close call.
I would say 50-50 in this case.
Nature doesn't deceive us; it is we who deceive ourselves.
