I'll stop at eagle, but it would be a close match, and I'd need the ER. Eagles aren't heavy, and if you can get your hand around it's neck, it's all over--swing it like a chicken. A large dog would be a toss-up, and no one is beating a chimp. No one. More people could beat a cobra than a chimp. There was the video of the guy besting a kangaroo, but that would not be me. The rest are fantasy.
I'm 6'1", 250 lbs and hulking and my ancestors were dog soldiers who would bring dogs with us to war and in winter when food was getting a little scarce we would toss Fido in the pot.
I said that to say I can and have sucessfully fought a large dog before, but not a rabid large dog, just angry large dog.
That being said, If the dog is rabid, all bets are off.
If someone put a gun to my head and said, fight the chimp to the death or die right now, I would do my best, but unless I get really lucky, maybe, maybe 30% of the time I win.
