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

:sneaky: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.
