Generally the answer to your question is no. Cheetah lost all their weight as they evolved to run fast. They are now extremely light and are no match for a leopard. Indeed leopards as well as lions kill many young cheetah before they are old enough to do anything. This is why cheetah have evolved to have large litters as as little as 1 in 20 survive to have young of their own.
Cheetah can be driven off their kills by many animals; indeed there have been documented occasions when wart hogs (who are herbivores) have pushed cheetah off their kill. Part of their adaption to this is to hunt in the middle of the day when all the other predators are snoozing through the heat.
Finally a previous answer states that they could out run one. This is probably true but several things should be considered first:
A cheetah has been clocked at doing as much as 110 kmh, and can keep this up for as much as 700m though after this it will need at least 20 minutes to recover. A leopard has been known to do 90kmh or more but can only keep this up for 60-70m
However a leopard recovers faster. As such a cheetah could probably out run a leopard initially.
However cheetah occur at very low densities everywhere they live because they are so incapable of defending themselves and their meals. Kruger for instance in South Africa (about the size of Wales) has a total of 200 or so cheetah, compared to 1000 lions and 1500 leopards.

What is the difference between a cheetah and leopard?
The difference between a cheetah and a leopard is that the cheetah is quite rare in Asia with a critically endangered population in Iran whereas a leopard lives in many parts of Asia. However, both live in Africa. The cheetah is quite faster and smaller than the leopard whereas the leopard is stronger and bigger than the cheetah. Even though both of them are yellow with black spots, the cheetah's spots are evenly packed but, the leopard's spots contain rosettes with no central spots. Unfortunately, the cheetah is least able to adapt to new environments but, the leopard is much more successful.
