Male earth ponies vs Griffons? Stronger species?

[SunsetBaconDrive 169]

Its safe to say that physically, dragons are the strongest creatures in Equestria that don't need magic. I would even say the Dragon King himself could give Tirek a run for his money. But male earth ponies vs griffons? I know female earth ponies are strongtoo, but its clear that biologically most male species are physically stronger than the female(hyenas come to mind when you have an alpha female leading the pack though)

 

I am including all sexes for the griffons because it seems they're all naturally aggressive... The only reformed Griffon we have seen is Gilda and the only naturally kind Griffon we have seen is Gabby. 

ho can we say is the strongest stallion to compete with the strongest griffon?

Earth Ponies: Stronger, and hit harder.

 

Griffons: Can fly, and have razor-sharp claws.

Big Mac carried a house like it was nothing.

 

The Dragon King is a beast.

 

And then there are Griffons. As strong as lions, which is cool, but aren't horses tougher than lions?

Using Big Mac is our example vs. Gilda (toss in a male Griffin if you think they would be stronger, but I imagine they are pretty even) and I would say...

 

Pulling weight, arm wrestling or anything that relied on pure strength and Big Mac would take it.

 

If you mean in a fight, I am going with the griffin. Big Mac is strong and all, but those claws coupled with the ability to fly would make a mess of him.

 

So I do think Earth ponies are the "stronger" species.
