Gigantopithecus blacki
Gigantopithecus is an extinct genus of ape that existed from roughly one million years to as recently as three hundred thousand years ago, in what is now China, India, and Vietnam, placing Gigantopithecus in the same time frame and geographical location as several hominin species. The fossil record suggests that individuals of the species Gigantopithecus blacki were the largest apes that ever lived, standing up to 3 metres (9.8 ft). Due to wide interspecies differences in the relationship between tooth and body size, some argue that it is more likely that Gigantopithecus was much smaller, at roughly 1.8 m (5.9 ft). Recent estimates of its body mass suggest a weight of 200–300 kg (440 - 660 lb). The species lived in Asia and probably inhabited bamboo forests, since its fossils are often found alongside those of extinct ancestors of the panda. Most evidence points to Gigantopithecus being a plant-eater. Its appearance is not known, because of the fragmentary nature of its fossil remains. It is possible that it resembled modern gorillas, because of its supposedly similar lifestyle. Some scientists, however, think that it probably looked more like its closest modern relative, the orangutan. Being so large, it is possible that Gigantopithecus had few or no enemies when fully grown.

Achillobator giganticus
Achillobator (pronounced /əˌkɪlɵˈbeɪtɔr/; "Achilles' warrior/hero") is a genus of dromaeosaurid theropod dinosaur from the late Cretaceous Period of what is now Mongolia, about 90 million years ago. It was probably an active bipedal predator, hunting with the large sickle-shaped claw on the second toe of each hind foot. It was a large dromaeosaurid: the holotype and only known individual of Achillobator is estimated as 5 meters (16 ft) long. The fossil remains of Achillobator were first discovered during a Mongolian and Russian field expedition in 1989, though it was not described and named until ten years later, in 1999, by Mongolian paleontologist Altangerel Perle, and Americans Mark Norell and Jim Clark, although the description was not complete and was actually published without the knowledge of the latter two authors. Est, weight 500 pounds.

Gigantopithecus would break the spine/neck of the raptor !!

I vote for Gigantopithecus. Stronger, and weighs much more.

I don't think Achillobator would even kill A Gigantopithecus because A Gigantopithecus can break the dinosaur's spine.

Achillobator could slash out internal organs, leaving the ape in agony while pullying it down with teeth.

Achillobator wins in my opinion. It may be smaller but it's got the better weapons. And I do believe that the raptor could prey on the giant gorilla by ambush.

Stalemate, not because the animals couldn't kill each, but because both would kill each other. The raptor will definitely get the first strike, where it will probably jump onto the great ape, but it's never dealt with long, useable arms before, so it will jump onto and gut the ape, but not fast enough to avoid the arms, so raptor dies first, but ape minutes later.

Raptor dies first, so it loses, but not every time.

No ambush allowed. This is supposed to be a one on one face to face confrontation.

^the raptors agility and weaponry makes up for it's size disadvantage, and some raptors are believed to take on animals twice or thrice their own size.
