This chart gives me an average for adult males at: 283 pounds; but simply black bears. Right, but some of those are not from the Easten black bear subspecies, like the Florida black bear for example, that's a different subspecies.

Tiger probably wins this one due to size.

Well, my opinion is that black bear beat the tiger most of time, probably 6 to 8 times per 10. I do quote King Kodiak's post as a reference to morphological advantages; and plus two accounts indicating that American black bears not only have potential but have even beaten tigers in pit fights.
Yeah, Black bears are passive but we should overlook the tiger's natural evasion it shows in head-on fights most of time. In fight to death, face-to-face, the bear wins most time.

Yes; why I titled this "600+ pound Eastern American black bear vs Amur tiger." The average black bear would be too small to win a fight against a tiger. American black bear - sow: 162.13 pounds / American black bear - boar: 272.03 pounds Average mature Amur tiger (general) - 430 pounds./ Average mature Amur tigress (general) - 284.4 pounds. But, no tiger has ever been known to kill a bear as heavy as himself. There is a huge size range among American black bears.
