I just showed the entire siberian tiger project team in russia, an no tiger in the past 20 years have gone pass 260 kg they average 173 kg, theres only about 300 or so left, this info came from the only people who are even up there...then you show a fan made site to where the creator doesnt even give his name, photos of him weighing or measuring these animals, or any type of credentials, and you want me to cut it out?
Please mam, can I have some more B.S

Love lions but they aint fukkin with most bears...do you see how strong these dudes are and they get up to 1500 lbs
Doesnt change the two videos of people 3x bigger than small guys losing. Plus, that looks quite pathetic, theres no blood, theres no broken bones, theres no skill other then pushing each other over, and catch the part the bigger bear is pissing himself? Yup, no game as well. You are talking about bears who probably will fight 1 or 2 fights in there entire lives, compared to lions, who fights 100's of times:
I counted more than 100 other lions killed by the Mapogo's

So what you're telling me is, you'd favor a yokuzuna vs mike tyson in a free for all fight?
{1851}
31’st of March, 1851, In the “Landshuter Zeitung” (“Landshut Newspaper”)
A drama at the Ganges.
I’ll tell of one of these terrible fights, one you wouldn’t see again in a hundred years, a scene of blood and death that forever will haunt my mind. […] The lion and his rival, the tiger, need air and space in great quantity. Here, and only here, are they really able to live and to rule. […] (A long description of lions and tigers and how fierce both of them are, the actual event follows now) A Malayan slave ran towards us and shouted: “Lion! Lion! Down there, at the river! It’s a big, fierce lion!”
“One more reason to take shelter in the house,” continued the colonel. “Come, my friends, take the weapons! The lion is a troublesome guest.”
We closed the house’s doors; the slaves got weapons and guarded the basement. We, to welcome this guest admirably, climbed up to the gallery from which we could overlook the Ganges. An unusually big lion walked haughtily down there, not looking around as he does when he has to fight an opponent, but instead ambling slowly and thoughtfully like a philosopher, he walked there. He stopped from time to time to rest a minute, and then continued majestically his way. Under a magnificent palm, he stopped, turned around two times, and finally lay down in the shadow. This was the rest of a magnificent ruler that had nothing to fear from any adversary. He rested easily, as do those who have made no enemies.
Scarcely ten minutes had the lion lain there, when suddenly, he jumped up as though struck by lightning, roaring very deeply and scratching the ground with both hind legs, as though challenging an adversary. He lowered his head and, in a single bound, jumped at the palm’s stem to look about, to the right and left. Then he jumped down to ground to wait again, and his gaze lingered at one particular spot on the horizon.
“An enemy seems to approach,” the colonel said, “a terrible enemy, if we look at the lion’s reaction. I predict that it will be a fierce fight, and many rich people would pay a great sum to see it if they were here right now.”
“And why,” I asked, “don’t they stage some fights from time to time, if they would pay so much?”
“Because what we have here is very rare. The lion won’t fight against a human but against a fierce animal, one as strong as he himself, such as a rhinoceros, an elephant, or a tiger.”
“A tiger! It’s really a tiger!” one of us shouted pointing a finger at the dangerous beast which jumped in huge leaps towards the lion. It was breathtaking, our eyes wandered from the lion to the tiger and from the tiger to the lion. The lion still was lurking. It was a terrible spectacle and we wagered who will win. Now they stood eyeball to eyeball with each other. They’d seen each other and wouldn’t leave unless one of them was lying dead at the ground. The tiger was unbelievably huge and beautiful with his long black stripes distributed all over his yellowish body. His fearful eyes seemed to burn, his head was lowered. We stood, at the most, 200 feet away. The sun shone brightly, so we could see their every move. I don’t think I have to mention that our hearts were in our mouths. The tiger closed in on the lion, but the lion remained calm. In the latter, we could see the force of the calmness in his powerful position; in the tiger, one could believe to see the violent tension of someone who has the impudence to disrespect a close danger, one who had the will to assault it. We could see a certain twitch in his legs, but he wasn’t about to flee. Did the crouching tiger want to kill the lion? I believe it did, and I admire the royal tiger’s courage, he would rather lie down in a burning furnace than be accused of cowardice!
The lion had not moved at all, but we could see what was happening inside him by looking at his erected mane. From time to time, his countenance suggested a submissive gesture. But he, the king of animals, didn’t want to show any fear, but rather boldness, to his opponent. A duel was now inevitable. For the tiger it may be a glorious day, but for the lion it was certainly a festive day.
With one leap, they could grab, bite, tear each other; with one leap they’d jump over the space of 20 feet that separated them from each other. Then, they leaped! The crash equaled the crash of two ships in a tempest! We could hear the bones breaking under the weight of their terrible paws, we could see chunks of flesh falling to the ground. They made no sound, but their gruff moaning indicated their rage and pain. Neither showed superiority and we wondered who would win. If the lion were to think that he had overpowered the tiger, the latter could earn the victory with a single move, shattering the surprised lion.
The fight now lasted 10 minutes, and suddenly, as if they came to an agreement, both loosened their grip to gain their breath again. It was the motionlessness of the rage, but it was the calmness of the king. A few moments later, an unexpected incident which resurrected the fight took place: The tiger, which saw not only his defeat but also his death, used the moment. While his opponent was licking his wounded hind leg, he leaped 10 feet up the palm’s stem and stayed there. The lion looked around and couldn’t see his foe anymore; he roared, looked upwards, and he jumped at the tiger. But in this position it was impossible to continue the fight. They knew that only one of them would survive. The tiger jumped down and the lion followed him, but his leg caused him to shiver. A long fight wasn’t possible any more. Their claws were blunted, their jaws were tired, and they had lost much blood.
The fighters’ jaws were wedged in each other as they bit at each others’ heads; we could feel the bones crushing. Suddenly the tiger retreated, wavered and fell down. The lion seized him with his terrible paws and it seemed like he wanted to punish the defeated opponent for his resistance.
He didn’t loosen his grip, the merciless king of the forest, the feared lord of the wilderness; he tore the tiger apart, he crushed its skull. Suddenly a crocodile appeared out of the river. It seized the lion at his injured hind leg and dragged him into the water. The only remains of this fight were the dead tiger under the palm and some read streams of blood on the water surface.

The only thing I find interesting is:
do you think a lion could fukk up a grizzly bear?
That when theres no one to show proof on the lions behalf, almost the entire thread of people go in one direction and believe a bear has ever killed a lion with one blow. Yet when the sources of lions feats are shown, people are able to distinguish logic.
Hah man, people are just to sheeple:
people compared to sheep in being docile, foolish, or easily led.
Google
To gullible, too ignorant, to tricked, fooled and only follow what others do, unable to make a reasonable, logical and fact based opinion. Not that the lion beats the bear 10/10 or anything, but the statistics do show the lion has more advantages over the bear.

Clyde the kodiak:
According to zoo director Terry Lincoln, Clyde probably weighed close to 2400 lbs a year earlier He still had a fat layer of 9 inches when he died.

This lion and tiger look no smaller than the 2,400 acclaimed bear, so I highly doubt that the bear was that heavy, a 1,000 pound bear would be already pushing limits and no means slender looking, this is how a 1,000 lb bear looks like:
He's as round as it gets, could a brown bear at that weight perform as well as a wild fit 700 lb bear? Those bears are twice as heavy as a lion/tiger yet they are not twice the sizes of lions, the heads of these bears are small, only thing is bigger is their stomach areas. Bears dont chase their prey down, dont struggle against herds of animals, dont have to try and over power something vastly stronger than them, hence their physique are not combative for a free for all brawl.
lions have to work hard to eat every week, they are sculpted into supreme athletes:
Bears have small upper bodys, fat lower bodys:
Lions are the opposite, small lower body, larger upper body. Dont see how the bear is getting pass all that mane:
Bears fur: 2-5 inches thick/long
Lions mane: 1-2 feet long/thick

a lion isnt lasting past the 1:24 mark of this video
if the lion even survives that longbruh you can link a whole bunch of shyt that aint got to do with shyt of lions killing slow ass elephants and shyt. They aint fukkin with a grizzly /kodiak bear
thats not even a knock against a lion.. no land animal is fukkin with a grizzly / kodiak bear.. NONE ..
this dude busting out NBA analytics on lions the same kind nerds use to show steph curry playing good even though he goes like 6 / 20 from the field or something "well you see here Z x Y = A" type shyt
mafukka a kodiak would draw down on a lion 
a lion isnt lasting past the 1:24 mark of this video
Exactly what do we see in that video, a bear shytting himself?
Do we see the bear biting off limbs?
How about breaking bones?
Did the bear throw a single haymaker?
Wheres all the blood if they are so lethal?
Where was this legendary skull crushing capability's?
Were they moving at hyper sonic speeds or something?
No all we see is two fat and slow bears squaring each other up, and fighting sumo style pushing each other around, with slow, no agility, no devastating assaults, which ended in the bigger bear pissing himself and the smaller bear shytting himself, with the bigger bear backing down...I thought the size is what grants them the instant win? Then why didnt the bigger bear win? You must be out of your mind if you think a lion cant last 2 minutes in a fair face to face confrontation.
Even a small young lion can bytch slap a bigger brown bear sending him running:
What? even a baby elephant has enough power to choke to death a puma:
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=950CEFD81F3DE633A25757C1A9639C946797D6CF
A bull elephant would pick up a kodiak bear and slam his head onto the ground cracking it like an egg. And funny, theres over 200 accounts already shown of grizzly bears being killed by pumas, wild boars, wolves, goats and domestic animals.
lol Polar bear > Kodiak real incident:
No land animal would mess with a grizzly/kodiak? I'd bet the worlds largest kodiak bear would get wrecked by:
- African bush Elephant 10/10
- Indian bull elephant 10/10
- White rhino 10/10
- Black rhino 10/10
- Hippo 10/10
- Male crocodile 9/10
- Bull giraffe 8/10
- Bull eland 8/10
- Bison 9/10
- Spanish fighting bull 9/10
- Indian Guar 9/10
- Stallion 9/10
- Puma 9/10
- Jaguar 8/10
- Donkey or mule 8/10
- Pack of 6+ wolves 10/10
- Clan of 6+ hyenas 10/10
I can go on and on and on,
A brown bear pound for pound cant even kill a donkey:
Big cats pound for pound can kill any animal on the planet nearly 10/10.
this dude busting out NBA analytics on lions the same kind nerds use to show steph curry playing good even though he goes like 6 / 20 from the field or something "well you see here Z x Y = A" type shyt
Dont get mad because lions kill almost every animal on the planet on record, yet you dont even have 10 genuine accounts of a kodiak killing a stallion, bull moose or bull bison, just ten?. All you have for proof is your imagination. Yet lions on record have killed thousands of bull giraffes and elands, and buffalos 1,500 - 4,000 lb animals.
Z x Y ?
Yes, we can gauge their prowess by looking at their feats, which are fact based not out of thin air like your opinions.
Lions:
- Over a 100 sources show they have sledge or steam hammer like blows crushing skulls and breaking backs.
- Over a thousand records of killing formidable animals
- 100's of sources that state the lions mane is nearly impossible to by-pass.
- 100's of records of lions killing tigers and bears in captivity
- Video proof of their athletics, superior in speed, agility, dexterity, maneuverability, and power.
What advantages did you show that bears have over lions again?
- They can get much fatter.
Wow, some proof a bear beats a lion you got there.

Bears are only big in the body, the lion out classes the bear in weaponry, the lions muzzle and mouth area is twice as big as the bears:
Lions muzzle twice as big as the black bears:
Again here, lions muzzle is bigger than bears:
a young mane-less 1-2 year old lion just nipping the device has almost 700 psi of force:
Even a lionesses skull is bigger than a black bears, the muzzle is nearly twice as big = more biting power:
Big wolf Skull
A full grown lion can easily break the 2,000 psi mark. A brown bear is more herbivore than carnivore as being omnivorous and wouldnt even get pass the 1,200 psi mark at max sizes. So he doesnt need bone crushing bites, he eats mostly plants. While lions need harder bites to take down much larger prey.
A lions bite is even stronger

we are talking about Kodiak / Grizzly bears.. your entire post here is comparing lions to black bears.. stick to the subject you originally wrote about..
you are comparing one of the smallest bears on earth to lions, and using that as your argument for why lions would do good against the biggest bears on earth.. truly dumbass posting honestly

And yet I showed several cases where these supposed smaller black bears defeated and even killed 800+ lb brown bears. I wasnt comparing the sizes of them, but the muzzle and bite power, feel free to show a kodiak bear with a larger muzzle and bite psi than a lion other than your imagination.

Hmm, in one hand, you have posters like @itsyoung!! saying a bear is all powerful, yet cant even present 10 verified times a brown bear has killed a stallion, bull moose, or bull bison, let alone a video of a bear even making contact with a adult version of these animals.
You dont have any amount of bears killing these animals, and lions contend with hippos every week, something that is 4x bigger and heavier than a bear, so why would they care any less of a bear whos 4x smaller than something they routinely go against and kill? And first of all, hippos have the most devastating bite on the planet:
- They kill more humans than any mammal on the planet (Hyper-aggressive)
- Have teeth/tusk that are 10x larger than crocodiles fangs. (Far more damage is done)
- Is 4,000 - 8,000 pounds of a mixture of fat and muscle (10 x the physical strength of a kodiak)
- They are faster runners than kodiaks, can transverse in water as well and are nimble in movements
And yet still nothing showing bears kill just 1,500 lb animals on record, in the other hand you have lions with hippos:
Not far from this pride another pride in Linyanti Botswana specializes in killing Hippo.
