Could a cougar give a tiger a good fight-- and if no who would win between the tiger and a lion?

Question

All males

Answer 1

The cougar is faster and more agile than the tiger, but the tiger is far more powerful and aggressive. The cougar wouldn't stand a chance, it will lose to the tiger at least 9/10 times. The lion however, will give a tiger a run for it's money. They are practically equal in all they would bring to a battle. Both have deadly fangs and claws. The tiger is stronger than the lion, but not by much. The tiger is more agile than the lion, but not by much. The lion is faster than the tiger, but not by much. The lion is more aggressive than the tiger, but not by much. This is pretty much an even match, but because the lion has the protection of a mane, I'd say it'll beat the tiger in 6/10 fights.

Answer 2

A cougar is much smaller and weaker than a tiger. Tigers are bigger than lions and could beat them in fair fights, but lions fight in groups, and tigers fight alone, so a pack of lions would beat a lone tiger.
