http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_versus_lion

History: tigers normally won.
Size: tigers are bigger on average and at the high end.
Brain size and bite force at the canines: tigers again on both counts.
Accidental fights: tiger one-hit kills a lion through the tiger's enclosure. Lions sometimes kill tigers when the lion is larger.
The experts vote: tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger, tiger

And my favorite part: the Gaekwad favored the lion
At the end of the 19th century, the Gaekwad of Baroda arranged a fight between a Barbary lion and a Bengal tiger before an audience of thousands. The Gaekwad favoured the lion, and as a result had to pay 37,000 rupees as the lion was mauled by the tiger.

Bears win.

Obviously, but the classic scenario is lion v tiger. Lion v tiger v bear would still be interesting. I bet the bear would scare off both cats, then the tiger would eat the lion.

But where would badgers fall in? What about badgers, lions, tigers, and bears all going at it, with the fight rigged so it's 700 pounds of badgers vs 700 pounds of bear, etc?

What about your average Anandtech stud vs a lion? Do you think we can hang?

Now that that is settled can we move on to more important questions like Tiger vs Sharknado?

Wasn't there a documentary on Discovery (or similar) awhile back about this very topic which concluded the Lion would win?

Hell if I know, got a link?

One tiger vs Sharknado would be no contest since the tiger would be so horribly outnumbered. But Tigerphoon vs Sharknado???
