Obviously none of you have owned/been around/seen an AB in action, AB's have some form of lock jaw, ive seen my little lady un-able to immediately let go of objects until "releasing/ unlocking herself," this takes 2-3 seconds and only happens when bitten down hard on somthing for a few seconds.  
Also an AB is much stronger\ and just as quick as a APBT, do you think a ABPT could pick up and launch an AB, no.. A AB could launch a ABPT no problem but back to the old saying its not the dog in the fight its the fight in the dog is king, no questions asked.  
The AB is about 10x smarter then a APBT, my AB taught several APBT's how to become excellent alert guard dogs, just from being around her, and shes had no professional training whatsoever.   Not to mention their pain tolerance and ability to deal with stress is quite larger then the ABPT.   APBT cannot handle stress, hence their bad rep.  
Regardless the two breeds are two of the best available today, especially the AB, even through they are rare and expensive.

A pit bull is a miniature American bull dog, plus the teeth of a pit bull are very short while the American Bulldog has very long teeth the damage caused by the American Bulldog is quite extreme, what works in their favor is that they are not as aggressive and only fight when provoked.

This answer is actually completely wrong. The American Bulldog is not related at all to the Pit Bull. Pit Bulls are terriers (hence the name American Pit Bull TERRIER), while American Bulldogs are closely related to Mastiffs and their namesake English counterparts. American Bulldogs are much larger and have completely different temperaments, although they are often confused both because of people's ignorance as well as the fact that both breeds are considered to be "bully breeds." Pound for pound, American Pit Bull Terriers are the strongest known breed, however when size discrimination is not used, American Bulldogs can be stronger. Bite for bite, both dogs to have tendencies to lock their jaws once initiated, although bite sticks and other various forcible objects are not usually required to break an American Bulldog's bite, as a verbal command from a strong owner will suffice. Hope this clears up any confusion on this wonderful dog breed that often gets a bad rap because of uneducated people!

A version of the bulldog was used to create the pitbull! That is a fact.  You can go and do a DNA test and it will give you the answer.  Hence it does have Bulldog in the pit family!
The bite of the AB is stronger, because of the weight of the breed added to the force, its a fact.
NO, I repeat, NO such thing as a lock JAW for Dogs, only pounds per square in bite and pits don't have the strongest bite!  This was proven!

American bulldogs have a much stronger bite then a pit bull. A dogs bite is relative to its head size. My 7 month old ab consistently destroys his toys, that my 2 year old rotty has trouble ripping apart.  I know for a fact that rottie can generate a bite force of 350+ pounds (were as a large pitbull terrier wouldnt break the 300 barrier). So a large AB like my dog, would have a much greater bite over a pitbull terrier, simular to a rottie

I personally from experience know that a american bull dog can do damage and it was the ignerience of the owner who said my child would be o.k. They can and will be extremly mean no mater what.
And some owners should not even have them if they do not know how to keep them under control!!!!

No offence, but you need your head sorted... No dog is born aggressive! AB need a lot of training and yes the dog needs to know from the young age to listen to their owner as AB are very dominant. But they are NOT dangerous unless provoked or protecting owner or property...

Upon-till 80,s the american bulldog was known has the american pit bulldog this is where the pitbull terrier gets its name ,due to the different temperament of the american bulldog the word pit was dropped from there name so the pit bull was a cross breed of the american bulldog anyway the pitbull has a nasty bite but the american bulldog will hurt just has much lol

Id have to say a pitbull would win, bull dogs can be much bigger and have more muscle mass, but they lask the generations of dog fighting pitbulls have instilled. Like if you matched up a 100lbs experienced fighter with little Muscel against a 180lbs fighter who knows nothing, experience and stamina beat muscle and strength any day!.... PS Lock jaw does NOT exist!

That's where your're wrong. If  a pitbull is used to fighting it would go 1st for AB but there is self defense. AB have 350+ pounds jaw power and their teeth are a lot longer and rounder hence the reverse scissors bite. Whereas pitbull's jaw power is only 250-270 pounds. AB are also wrapping round their pray bringing and holding them down. AB are very intelligent dogs where pitbulls are bread with aggression and attack 1st, think 2nd
