Default who would win in a fight

Bear or a Lion.
I've had this argument for years and have my reasons why I think a Lion would. What do you think and why?

In close quarters the lion would have the edge, as he would go for the throat for the kill.

On first approach I give the edge to the bear, with the height advantage and those claws to wound the lion seriously before the lion gets his shot.

The smart aggressive bear will win, the timid bear will lose.

The bear. Bears are much bigger. Weight and size is a massive advantage. A whack from a bears paw is going to seriously f up anything that gets near it.

I read somewhere that some bored US troops tried to stage exactly this fight in Baghdad Zoo out of boredom, but that neither animal was up for it, so the question remains unanswered.

OK, who would win the following:

The (unarmed) ultimate martial arts master ever* who had trained for years specifically for this fight
Vs.
Your average tiger.

* (say Bruce Lee at his peak and having trained with Royce Gracie armed with a degree in tigerology)

Obviously the tiger has the weight and strength advantage, but Bruce has trained his tiger take down and guillotine choke to perfection.

The reason I believe the Lion would win is because it is a natural hunter. It would stalk the bear until it found a weakness and then move in. A bear has NO adversaries except man. With the excemption of Salmon it doesn't hunt it feeds. Actually I think it would be much like a poker game. The lion would be "an ging around" until the bear made a mistake and move in. Now if you put a bear and a lion in a small cage i think the bear would win. But if you had an out door area of a square mile or so the lion would find a way. IE Doyle Brunson Lion. Andy Beel bear.

"A bear has NO adversaries except man."

There is a reason for that. Indeed, the reason that you never see bears and lions in the same environment is that the bears beat all the lions in fights.

when i was a little kid they played some of these things that were filmed long before that when legal or no one cared. i watched the lion win easily. probably because lions kill for their food all the time. bears mostly eat plants.
kangaroos beat boxers up with both having gloves on
orangatan beats human easily
rhino kills lion in close quarters
