Matchmaker What's the strongest dinosaur an unarmed regular human could beat in a fight?

No guns, no melee weapons, and no armor, just straight hands. The dinosaur has to exist in real life and could be from the Triassic to the Cretaceous period. The human will be fighting the dinosaur in an open field. Battle to the death. Whats the strongest dinosaur a human could kill without any weapons?

Do you think you would find a new born trex unattended? Pretty sure mom would be near by

Approach stealthily downwind staying nearby but out of sight. Chuck the Rock in the opposite direction to get her attention away from you, and then Sprint in and drop kick that little bastard. If it's a newborn, you'll probably easily take it out with one good kick.

That really depends on which scientist is right about an adult T-Rex's speed. The lowest estimate I could find is 3 mph walking speed (slow but still fast enough to catch its prey) and possibly being unable to run.

The sprinting speed estimates tend to range from a smidge slower than the average adult could Sprint, to a few mph faster than Usain bolt. So you might actually be able to live if you're healthy & in shape, It just depends on what scientist is right. I'm fat out of shapes on debt, but if you're Usain bolt you have a decent chance.
