Exactly what I also think, it is a draw and a well-thought of match. I still feel inclined to give S. maximus the edge. The latter has less rotational inertia than its opponent (although I believe not much less), so they will definitely be facing eachother all the time. It would be a long-lasting battle, considering that the previous statements suggest they wouldn't easily reach eachother's necks.

I can't imagine Saurophaganax being significantly heavier if they are both at length parity, so Saurophaganax is probably more agile due to its more compact body and lightweight tail and head ends. Neither will be particularly agile either way. Anyways I would give Saurophaganax a slight edge in this fight.

Does anyone here have any information on acceleration for those dinosaurs?

Not many things have been published on Saurophaganax, most of what we know of Saurophaganax comes from Allosaurus. I haven't seen much information on torvosaurus buts thats probably just me not looking

I am sure there isn't any information on what I have asked, since those dinosaurs don't have many studies on them compared to dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex. I'll also try and find something.

Well ye obviously, we have 30+ Tyrannosaurus specimens and 2 of them are over 95% complete. While we have very few Torvosaurus specimens(that I know of)

Though, we can base studies on Allosaurus fragilis, and only count the agility downgrade due to its superior mass.

Ye they did have very similar anatomy from what we know.

Yes, but Saurophaganax maximus is gonna be more robust, due to gravity.

Very similar anatomy they share, its so fucking similar

Indeed, they are very similar anatomically.

Not that much, and I don't ee how that can be worse than making a thread that gets one or two pages of posts, then becomes forgotten by the whole forum.
