You can make a case that Trayvons extraordinarily intimidating appearance combined with verbal threats alone is near enough justification to stand your ground and shoot him, let alone his 6'3 football playing, gold teeth having, musky smelling body hovering over your 5'9 pudgy frame pounding your face to dust in an unprovoked attack.

Your poll is worthless. Nothing personal, it just is.
This is like asking how much food can you eat in a minute, it's way, too subjective.
How bad you could beat a person in one minute would depend upon whether you beat them with your hands, or with something you were holding IN your hands. How strong you were, how healthy you were that day...yada yada.

Seeing as the doctor who examined his body said there was no evidence of him attacking anyone, and the police video and photographs show no physical damage to Zimmerman, I believe your opinion is misinformed.
And no, a verbal attack and questioning someone for following you is not grounds for using the "stand your ground" law to apply here, even the men who wrote it state that as a fact.
I would suggest that it probably doesn't make sense to hold a person to their estimation of time while being beaten. Secondly, the beating could last a minute without it meaning consistent blows for a minute. Things like whether or not his hands were free in defense etc. would also matter.
I say that without suggesting that he either was or was not, but that bit of information wouldn't have any influence on my conclusion.

For all you know he stopped pursuing, he was attacked when he was back at his truck.
Trayvon was a dangerous individual and a ticking time-bomb but there's a small chance he could have become a normal person so of course I'm not happy that Zimmerman shot him in self defense. hopefully this will serve as a lesson to other 17 yr old hip hopping violent predators to change their ways.
When I was 14 I stole stuff multiple times from a Walgreens store which I deeply regret yet I turned out great so people can change
You could beat someone to death in a minute. However, in regards to this case, I believe Zimmerman used unnecessary lethal force. A case of someone taking his role as neighborhood watch captain a little too seriously.
Trayvon was a predator and just looking at his pictures(not the baby ones) scare me
lol. What?

Has the OP admitted something or is it chest pounding bravado?

Are you admitting to an assaulting another person in your past? An affirmation of absolute knowledge would indicate personal experience.
