Then rest your case then..
Kodiaks can rival polar bears, and a kodiak in a zoo killed two polar bears at once. An menelik the lion killed the kodiak named president, who the article even said the lion was pulling an ripping at the bears head with such force, that the bears head was merely decapitated, bears bite forces are half the strongest bite force of a 2,200 psi bite from a 700 lb lion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fspXUYbv7GMwhich all doesnt matter anyway, it only takes 100 pounds of force to crack a skull, and only around 50 psi to sever the throat, carotid artery and trachea, its gona matter who gets their first, and lion all together is more powerful an has superior, speed, explosiveness, agility, quickness and dexterity...topped in with the bear can hardly get at the lions neck, since its protected by 2 feet of long dense thick mane.
I dont know why you even bothered to name the weight, height, size statistics...doesnt everybody know that already? Repeating it isnt gona mean you have proof the bear would win over the lion who has way more advantages. And lol, I showed the photo of that circus at florida, they didnt have a single full maned lion that season.
and the bear has every physical attribute over the lion? And so did this guy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWxlZ52O0rIyet he still lost, what do these largest fat blobs hunt thats so formidable? balugas, and walruses, both who only go flip flop on the ground or in the water, lol...the polar bear hunts nothing that can fight back with maneuverability and has weapons or attributes as powerful as the big cats. While lions hunt almost every type of ungulate on the planet, the okavango lions hunt primarily buffalo, because buffalo is one of the ony things in their area, a buffalo would merk a slow polar bear 100/100 times:
In that case, lions would make the suitable mega fauna balance, since they are the only ones that kill big game regularly, one or two big game from tigers doesnt balance out anything.
..Lionesses generally prey on ungulates, comfortably taking down those sized between 50-300 kg.
..But
male lions are also very good hunters,..They also take more risks in hunting and occasionally prey on much largeranimals. They can fiercely take down bull buffaloes, giraffes and even hippo.http://globalsojourns.com/imagedump/...rican_Lion.pdfthis proves that lions hunt more than they scavange
http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/a...scavenging.jpgthe males kill more buffalo than the females:
http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5098/...0058bc2b_b.jpglol an awww, cant handle facts, they were malnourished and under weight? lol those weren't arranged fights, they were accidental...circuses almost always take good care of their animals, not only because its their source of income, peta and many origination enforce the animal rights which keeps them fit, healthy, well fed and strong:
Of course that has nothing to do with why you are ranting on, it just has everything to do with you billeting the lion and over hyping the bear, who faces little to no heavy competition like the lion.
One decent hit? lol Nah, I'd take the observations of the experts who say bears dont throw blows or strikes, over some one who has never seen a bear fight in your life...nice opinion, until you find an actual account of that happening, then I'd take your word for it, until then only 6 accounts exist of having their heads caved in or backs broken, and its all on bears....from lions.
You have nothing new.
and aggressive? lol yeah, he was real aggresive to that dog the bit him, if a dog attacked a wild lion, he'd get swatted to death:
http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2014/06/26/a-rangers-worst-and-best-sighting-ever-amazing-fight-between-lion-and-wild-dog/an how embrarasing for the lion? lol no mane, how embarrsing is this:
Animals reflect their prowess in what they compete against, hence sloth bears compete against hyena, tigers and a little while ago indian lions too, hence they are game to the death, polar beears are hardly game even if they are attacked, it'd take a super aggressiv polar bear to attack something else...yet a polar bear was killed by a leopard:

And grizzly bears have wider and bigger skulls compared to polar bears...and lions have bigger skulls compared to tigers. Nothing you state is true, the big cats muzzles are twice as big as polar bears, thats where all the force is generated:
Lion an grizzly bear, lion with bigger muzzle an head:
lol and just because a man picks up weight, doesnt mean his bones get densar, the same with bears, the heavier they get doesnt mean their bones get denser, the only bone denseity chart ever made showed on the other forum ahd lions with denser bones in the front in comparison to a kodiak bear.... while the kodiak with densar bones in the back...everything else youve been saying are things made up out of thin air.
