Your point??? If a Rottweiler goes after a human, the results will be the same as a pit bull, guaranteed. And there is not way to for sure measure a pit bulls jaw strength. Sure they are powerful dogs, more so than most breeds, but they are no different than a German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Doberman, etc.

Not so. A German Shepherd has a much longer and narrower jaw, not to mention much lighter musculature in the jaw area. The basic laws of physics and physiology will guarantee very different results in jaw strength.

For a rough illustration of the jaw-shape effect, using your own body: Try sticking your arm out straight in front of you, and have someone start hanging weights on your wrist, until you can't hold your arm up anymore. Then try the same thing, but hang the weights on your upper arm. See how much more weight you can handle in the latter position. And just imagine how much more you could handle if the weight-bearing muscles in your shoulder were twice as large and strong.
