Who would win in wolf vs tiger?
There are more documented cases of Tigers killing Lions in fights although lions have been known to kill tigers. On average tigers are larger and more powerful than lions therefore have the advantage in a fight. There are no documented cases of either a Tiger or Lion fighting a wolf to my knowledge. It is not hard to conjecture though that a wolf would decisively lose against either being less than half the size on average. A tiger will win because it's the largest big cat.
Tiger or grizzly toughest land animal?
although there have been no documented cases of a fight between a tiger and a grizzly, there were several documented cases in the 1920s of staged fights between grizzlys and African lions, these encounters were no contest with the grizzly dispatching the lions with ease. My guess is the tiger may put up a slightly better fight than the lion but would still be killed readily by the more powerful grizzly.

How has the Asiatic Lion been endangered?
Mainly by human persecution. In India, there is some evidence that the tiger, a species that arrived in the Indian subcontinent later than lions, may have been the containing factor. Tigers are somewhat larger than lions on average, and intolerant of rivals in their territories. Usually, lions inhabit more open country than tigers, and are easier to kill because of this. British officers used to kill them by the hundreds during the 19th century, and it appears the tigers kept the lions contained from spreading into densely forested areas. But, again, it was the indescriminate killing by humans that led to the lion's decline. Today, there are around 350 Asiatic lions in the Gir Forest of India, the last of their kind in the world.
Why are Asian lions more endangered than African lions?
Many reasons. First, lions are bold hunters of open plains habitats, and during the British rule, many army officers hunted them for sport. Lions, living in prides, often had many killed at one time by these ruthless hunters. Another reason may be a natural one. Lions once ranged over most of the Indian subcontinent. The tiger, a fairly recent migrant to Southern Asia from the north, may have been the containing factor. Lions slowly gave ground to this more active, larger predator. There was no large predator in Africa to prevent lions from penetrating to the Cape, and large areas of dry, barren land halted the expansion of the tiger, which requires more water and cover than the lion. Although no real signifigance can be drawn from the fact that, under artificial conditions in captivity, a tiger usually can defeat a lion, Singh noted that roaring of lions in zoos often attracted the wild resident tigers, and three released lions were almost certainly killed by them. In Iran and other countries, lions were considered vermin and man killers, and were hunted to extinction. Today, 350 Asiatic lions remain in India's Gir Forest, the last of a once widespread lion subspecies.

Well yeh, the lion/tiger is slightly bigger than the jaguar, there has been records of fights between the jaguar and a lion and jaguar has been the winner, so maybe a tiger, but other than that not really any, as also lions have been recorded to win tigers soo, depends on male/female size/age.
