Sloth bear gets 8-9 out of 10 times imo. Arguably one of the greatest fighter in the bear family with legendary aggression. Furthermore, they are stronger, larger, have better enduring and a plantigrade posture etc. A bear that can beat off a tiger almost 2 to 3 times larger than itself would totally destroy a felid smaller than itself.

Despite his fierce reputation, the jaguar, like all other cats, is an ambush predator. Just as the tiger will usually walk away from this confrontation, even though the bear is only half, and sometimes only a third his own weight, the jaguar will not willingly fight with a bear his own size. But, for the sake of conversation, should they fight, I'd wager on the bear.

The speaker claims that the jaguar is more of a face-to-face fighter than other big cats, because he kills caimans. This is false. A jaguar will ambush a caiman. I have seen (video) a jaguar walk away from a giant anteater just as a tiger will walk away from the sloth bear. The speaker also downgrades the bears claws simply because their sole purpose is for digging. He fails to acknowledge that a cat's claws are for climbing trees and for holding onto prey or other objects.
Why do people think that killing from ambush makes a predator an accomplished fighter?
