It is more likely that they had a common ancestor. The modern tiger has a more general feline dentition and skull structure than the sabretooth. It rarely happens that a specialized dentition pattern returns to a general pattern in descendants.

How big were Sabre tooth tigers compared to the African lion?

Sabertooth tigers were about the size of the modern African lion (Panthera leo). The sabertooth had short, powerful legs. These animals were not built to run fast or far. The sabertooth was probably an ambush hunter. It would have stalked its prey or attacked large animals from a hiding place. Some saber tooths grew up to 15 feet in length. Saber-toothed cats ranged throughout much of the world during the last Ice Age. The sabertooth has been recovered from many sites in both North and South America.
