Great White Vs Mako Shark - help!!

[Florabama]

This won't end the debate but I thought you might find it interesting. This is video of a 1200 lb Mako with a 250 lb tarpon in his mouth. A local charter fishing boat came upon the mako while cobia fishing last spring (cobia fishing is done close to shore by sighting the fish on top of the water and casting to them).

I would pick the Mako as winner over the Great White because of the Mako's speed. Tarpon are not slow. To chase one down and smim off with it takes blazing speed.

Caution -- there's strong language in this video:

As a boxer, I am gonna go with the smaller, quicker shark in this bout. Whites are extremely powerful, but they are not very agile. So I am picking the Mako.

Yeah, but the great white isn't exactly Butterbean! More of a Bob Sapp or Nikolay Valuev kind of shark. Let's see Pacquiao take one of those guys.

Ha, I like the analogies.
