Most and majority would be given to a Tiger as its got better advantage than a lion.....................

"There have been some real fights between the two kings of the jungle". Two kings?? you mean Lion vs Lion?? I only need to know Lion vs Tiger and tiger is no king.

Although no animal has the majesty of a lion, realistically tiger is the winner of a fight between these two cousins, because:
1) Tiger fights with both hands
2) It's wieght is some times up to 50 kg higher
3) It enjoys superior intelligence (in one movie I saw that the tiger could easily foresee lion's motions of hands. Moreover, unlike lion, b4 entering fight tiger evaluates the opponent first)
4) In fight, lion follows no plan or at most tends to grab the throat and this is exactly what a tiger needs to do in its main style of killing, i.e. biting the skull or neck from above!
I should mention, however, that the ambient temperature is likely to affect the performance of both animals in a fight; meaning that most of the observed fights have been in rather cold weather which is in favor of tiger since it makes a lazy lion inert.

Hunting is great but to be fair all the lions do is eat, make little lions and take over prides. Male lions are more than capable of hunting bcos rogue males do it every day and they do it singly. Their sole purpose is to protect th pride and they do this well be it a leopard, bear, hyena or rhinocerus and although they live seperately the tiger would vacate too. There are only 2 fair fights of a male tiger and a male lion and the lion kicked ass both times. Non fanatics should see the logic in this.

TIGER. They are the best animal ever besides the wolf. THe Tiger would whoop alion

... i go for the tiger not because most of the books or history or video showed that the tiger always won, but because of the prey both cats hunt. :), tiger hunt gual which can weight up to 1.5 ton (and he do this alone), and the buffalo in Africa is way more lighter and weaker, but i would take at least 3 lioness to bring it down. and some time lioness got killed while hunt too.

plus, lion is freaken lazy, while tiger is much more active, coz it has to hunt to survive while lion got fed by lioness.

fighting? how often lion fight? 1 per day? 1 per week? or one per month? i dont think there are that much of lion in that huge africa for the lions to actual come across that often and fight. and in wikipedia, just look and compare the size of the lion and tiger, you will see that tigers are bigger than lions, it is fact... you cant deny it, you cant say smaller is bigger than some thing that actually is bigger.... and latest science research showed that tiger had stronger bite than lion, that is the fact and dont deny it too.

and in conclusion, how on earth a, smaller, less active, win over a bigger and more active .... being? unless you are human and you had a gun. lol so tiger win over the lion is the fact, so just dont deny it.

cats lover really doesnt know anything about cats

i believe that tiger is a more stronger and a more mightier animal than a lion .we know that a tiger hunts alone and lions hunt in groups and this shows and proves the tigers superiority and bravery unlike the lion .

All past evidense points to the lion. Despite what tiger fanatics say the Romans stated in plain terms that the tiger would most often retreat and if it did fight it would lose that they started matching 2 tigers against a lion. I to be fair will point out that this was the Barbary lion which is the largest of the lions. A tiger being a solitary animal would be likely to try and avoid a conflict with another fiersome predator bcos injury would mean death and history states this. There are only 2 videos in existense of a wild lion and wild tiger both males and this was an asian lion against a bengal tiger and the tiger came out 2nd best in both. Clyde Beatty lost 4 tigers to lions and in the Korean pit fights of 1959 the score was finalized at 4 wins for the lion and 1 for the tiger. Any N. Korean film should be suspect as I have it on good authority that the lions are drugged there and anyway tame animal fights are a red herring as these animals are shells of their wild counterparts and just as many films are taken in these 2 of lions winning but a lot are not sent so gullible americans can praise eastern dominance over western dominance by praising their animal the tiger. btw the good authority I have this on is the zoo keepers themselves who state the lion has more wins despite being drugged. I lived there for 6 yrs. The only way that can get an equal amount of tiger wins is to shave the mane off hardly fair.

I would have to bet for the tiger. In some Asian countries, lion-tiger fight inside large cages or dens is a form of cruel but habitual gambling. Most zoo keepers, who participate in arranging the fight, attested that in 9 out of 10 fights, the tiger wins. So their usual advice, "never bet for a lion." Perhaps the primary reason why tigers are the usual winners is that tigers have more developed fighting skills because they are solitary and are used to knocking down their prey alone. The lions have to call group assistance from their siblings to knock down their meals. Unlike lions, tigers are lone hunters, attackers and survivors so they are bound to develop more muscles and fighting strategies to hunt and survive in the wild.

Lions have to defend their pride against other male lions that fight back. Usual tiger prey; deer don't fight back. Lions have more practice fighting bigger, stronger animals; water buffalo, wilderbeast, other lions etc. Lion manes protect from claws and bites.

Tigers also fight other tigers over territory and they hunt the same kinds of animals as lions or animals that are of comparable size to what lions hunt, alone without help. If you look up what kinds of animals tigers hunt, you will see that your statement is false. Lions do it in a group so to say that they have more practice fighting bigger, stronger animals doesn't really make any sense from a logical standpoint. It would make more sense to say that I would get more experience fighting alone then I would if I took down the same opponent with a group of other people helping me or animals in this instance.

Go to tigerpedia.com where you will find these fights are mostly bluff and rarely fatal unlike the bravery of a lion fighting to the death. To submit woould mean the death of the lions offspring. I have pointed out many facts on this website and im done if you still believe the tiger would win your a fanatic. Unwilling to listen to logic or reason or facts

Because tigers are lone animals they are more likely to avoid a conflict with a equally fiersome predator. Despite what tiger fanatics say the Romans actually state this by saying the tiger so often fled and so often lost in fights they started putting 2 tigers against a single lion. I should point out that this was the Barbary lion which is bigger than other lions and most tigers and also the Barbary lion was a lone wolf like the tiger unlike other lions. Ido know of only 2 tapes in existense witha wild male asian lion and wild male bengal tiger and the lion won both. also the korean pit fiights of 59 was a score of 4 lion wins and 1 tiger win. I could go on and on but the past evidense points to the lion to all but tiger fanatics.

im going to have to go with the tiger

advantages:
1. Its big size is a factor for making it easire to take down smaller enemies
2. Strong hind legs help it pounce and make fast attacks
3. Its agility for quick swipes and bites or dodges and escapes
4.Tigers most of the time have the stronger bit forces it just depends on the animal

Lion advantages:
1.Its mane it the biggest protects from strong bites
2.Its very agrressive but because of this are killed 67% of the time because there over confident
3.True they are faster but barely

tiger is by far the best
