A lot of people will say lion , however they are wrong because they are just stupid lion fans that know nothing about a tiger's advantages. The tiger will win because it is stronger! heavier, more agile, bigger, has longer canines, is a better fighter, is smarter, and is not lazy and waits for females to hunt. Tigers rule and lions are no sicken beans

They are close in size but lions are slightly smaller and lighter. The Tiger is more heavily muscled, especially in the hind limbs which is why it can leap so high (15ft). Tigers are fairly heavier than lions are more muscular and summed up, are more powerful.
Tiger is stronger, but slightly.
Tiger.
The average tiger is heavier than the average lion. With larger weight comes a larger size, and with a larger size comes bigger strength. But since they're naturally found on different continents it doesn't matter much.

However, there are sub-species of both lions and tigers that are either bigger or smaller, which can change the outcome of the comparison.
Both of those animals are powerful predators.But in 10 fights he lion will win 9.

If a battle will take place between male Bengal tiger and male African lion, a lion will defeat the tiger.

It is a myth that tigers are better fighters or more agile. A lion is agile too, but many people forget that. Lions fight every minute of their life for meal and pride. It is actually myth that tigers are as good fighters as lions. Some people say that male tiger fights sometimes to death to win heart of a female and tigress fights off hungry males.

A lioness will fight off hyenas and males fight for pride as much as tigers.In this point, their fighting skills are equal. But last lions hunt a prey almost every day but because only 40% (4 out of 10 hunts)are success, only once a 2 or 3 days they hunt. This is natural. Lions hunt better because they are more intelligent and hunt together.Then a male comes and other lionesses and start eating. Normally it ends as a fight.If you think that lions in pride are like mother and child you're wrong. Lions often fight with each other over food unlike e.g. mother cheetah and her almost aldut cubs.

Now I've told you one out of two most important strengths. Skills. There are skills and power. Skills include aggression+experience and power include bite force,paw swipe and just power.

Bite force: A bite of lion in one test reached around 1400Ib.The tiger got around 1400Ib either. The wider skull has less bite force but longer skull makes your bite weaker too. The short and narrow face makes more biting pressure. Both bite is around 1400Ib.

Paw swipe:Lion boxes with one paw but tiger boxes with two. Tiger paw swipes are fast but lack of full damage. Lion boxes with one paw, these are usually slow but carry a lot of weight behind them.

Aggression:When a male lion meets other male, it fights to end to win the pride. Sometimes those fights can carry fatal injury, which in African is very bad. Even a leopard will finish off with him.Lions practise their skills when fighting over food.

A myth is, but it was proven, that tiger canines are longer.Both canines are the size of around 5 inches long. However lion got longer claws up to 5 inches long and tigers are usually 4.5 inches, but they can reach 5 inches. Both canines and claws are for both cats around 5 inches.

Tiger score

Tigers are heavier and more muscles equals being stronger.

Lion score

Lion has stronger paw swipe, they are better fighters, their claws are usually longer, they are more aggressive, and they are more intelligent.

AnswerIf an African lion will meet Bengal tiger, The lion will win in 90% fights The fossils were found around west Asia and the tiger skull had few holes in the skull and throat bones which support to that lions will win because holes exactly fit the size of Asiatic lion's canines.
no because the tiger has more of everything than the lion.the tiger is also the strongest animal in the world.

A Male Lion is much larger than the tiger species.Females are a bit larger or equal in size. A healthy huge Male Lion weighs about 550 lb while nearly 30 % of India's tigers grow to just 240 lb. A healthy lioness weighs about 350 to 400 lb.While Sumatran Tigresses weigh only 165 lb but Male Barbary Lions weigh up to 620 lb(20 lb heavier than Siberian Tiger). So now Lions Are The New Big Kings!

Added:

Weight:150 - 225 kg (average 180 kg)90 - 272 kg (average 195 kg)

As you may see the answer above the statistics I put there is incorrect. The lion, (left side) average 180 kg, is smaller than the tiger, ( right side ) average 195 kg.

The largest lions are Barbary Lions.

Tiger is physically larger and heavier than a lion, they reach up to 11 ft (3.3 meter) and weight up 660 pounds (300 kg). They are largest cat on earth.

A lion can only weight up to 550 pounds

The tiger, being the largest of all wild cats, would win against a single lion. It has more muscle and can become unpredictable. If a lion pride took on a single tiger, the lion pride would obviously win.

This is not scientifically correct, but from my knowledge and research, this should be correct. I have never seen anything written about lions and tigers fighting each other, so please understand this is an educated opinion.
