There’s some variation in tiger size too, but much more in bear size, it seems. It could be a 2:1 ratio either way, so the question is if that size difference is enough to determine the outcome. Maybe we should compare fighting styles for these two animals.
These figures are from Wikipedia.
Grizzly bear, adult male, Alaska: 390kg
Grizzly bear, adult male, Canada: 140kg[[1]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly_bear#Appearance)
Bengal tiger, adult male, Chitwan: 260kg[[2]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_tiger#Characteristics)

Interesting points… we also need to consider how hungry and/or pissed off they are, and how that might affect their fighting style
