The final points:-
1#. Black bears are rarely preyed by few male tigers to an certain extent (Tkachenko, Sergey Kolchin,Svetlana Soutyrina)
2#. Adult males very rarely, but young female and sub-adult black bears most commonly fall prey on tigers. (David meanwell, Baikov, V.S. Kramtvos)
3#. Adult males, or perhaps adult female, black bears would fight with a tiger on defend itself and arn't easily killed (Yudin, Yudina, Baikov, Sonam Wanglay)
4#. Tiger predation don't effect black bear numbers and population. (Kuchrenko, Tkachenko, Khekhtsir observations)
5#. Black bears (not adult males) would mostly tree up to escape tiger attacks. (Bromley, Khramtsov, Zhivotchenko)
6# Black bears are formidable foes for tigers and both usually avoid each other. (Sonam Wanglay)
7#. Sub-adult black bears fear tiger tracks, however adults, males or perhaps females, show no fear to tiger tracks even fresh and move easily along with them. (Khekhtsir, Tkachenko)
8#. In a fight to death match, a large black bear can defeat a large tiger. (Jim cobbert, Mountfort)

Male tiger and a large male Ussuri black bear next to the same tree (Khabarovsk territory): Male tigers are significantly larger than moon bears, but will only attack a full-grown male from ambush. Never a bear as heavy as himself.

In ecosystems, to avoid competition or confrontations, predators occupy different elevation level to avoid each other as in South East Asia, Tigers, Leopards and Clouded Leopards live on different elevations of a similar place. www.biodiversity-science.net/EN/10.17520/biods.2020359Siberian tigers occupy higher and lower elevations (according to prey avaiability). Black bears on the other hand occupy high elevations to avoid the brown bears in lower elevation. www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/12/10/1262#B78-animals-12-01262But black bears never changed elevations to avoid tigers. Does that mean they fear more brown bears that of tigers?

Tigers are also much better climbers and more carnivorous. Therefore, it should be harder to an Asiatic black bear to escape a tiger than the brown bear.

Actually, the moon bear is a better climber than the tiger, or even a leopard. He can scurry quickly up a tree and out of reach of the tiger, who is left down on the ground. An adult brown bear must stand and fight. A young brown bear will run, but the tiger is faster.
