correct me if im wrong but are u suggesting Nkuhuma male and Talamati male stand a chance against PCM?

Also what even is the matter with refering to him as nym at this point lol

You think they dont? It could go either way really, we havent seen PCM prove their power against other lions in the pyshical condition both Talamati and Mfumo Jr have 
As far as I can remember they beat a 12 year old Nhenha
Caught K5 and gave him a good beating 
Submit a suprised Tumbela in a 2v1

Yes they are big, but Mfumo Jr and Talamati male ( they really need a coalition name to not write all that everytime lmao) are not small lions at all
I can see a world where they can hold their ground in some parts of the west against PCM ( who are not joke dont get me wrong) 
Let alone the boys catching a PCM alone since they are doing that quite a bit in the last month or so

At issue, in my mind, is how close knit the PCMs have always been, almost always fighting as one, and until just recently, when you saw one, you always saw the other. Very similar to the S Avocas in that regard.

Nkuhuma and Khanya are only new at building their relationship, and people seem to believe that in the face of a challenge Nkuhuma may run, though I have not seen any evidence of his ever leaving a partner behind. Only time I have witnessed Nkuhuma running from other males is when the PCMs surprised him as he way lying down resting, and he was alone then, with no sign of Nhenha around, as they were partners at that time. I believe, this idea that Nkuhuma will run away is based largely on the fact that some of his partners have been killed and he has come out unscathed. This may be right, I don't know, as we don't have any evidence that he fought by their sides either, but we do have evidence of his having battled more than one lion at a time, and he did not run in those situations, in fact he stood his ground, bared his teeth and claws, and fought.

So, for me, how the two of them react if/when they may be confronted by another coalition is yet to be established. Even if they do choose to fight together, all of the other surrounding coalitions are much more experienced in the enterprise of fighting beside one another, which certainly places the two of them at a disadvantage, imo, at least until we see otherwise.

Thats a strong point you made, in that regard yes PCM are at an advantage
I think some people look at lion dynamics as a reality show and have their favourites and ugly ducklings
For many Nkuhuma is ugly duckling, just because as you stated he has had multiple male partners
He is a true survivor and has had alot of bad luck thru his life
People give him the fault for the Nhenha death and Tumbela incident, most likely both were trying run and just got separeted wich happends all the time
Nhenha an old lion , and Tumbela with problems moving, got caught and when that happend Nkuhuma couldn´t do nothing Reply
