Hehe, I wanna know who gets rocked in these match-ups.
Polar Bear (largest, most vicious bear) vs. Siberian Tiger (largest big cat)
Which one of these beasts is the true "King of the Sea?"Great White vs. Orca
Lastly, The Incredible Hulk vs. King Kong & Godzilla in a handicap match?
Polar Bear vs. Tiger, Jaws vs. Free Willy

For the first pairing, i think the Siberian Tiger has more of a speed advantage. but both animals are around the same weight/strength-wise
Great White vs. Orca. hmm. depends. Orcas are in pods a lot, and probably co-exist fine with great whites. i don't know if their territories cross. and great whites are so rare now-a-days anyhow. But i'd guess the Orca. since there's more variables in that one.
and for the last match.hmm, king kong and godzilla. they are just waay bigger, plus they're a team. and godzilla has that long range eye-ray / fire capability

I would have to go with the polar bear. The cat isn't stupid enough to mess with it any ways.
The second, the killer whale hands down (if we are talking real world and not movie.) I saw the video on Discovery channel where this killer whale made a tasty snack out of a great white. The whale has a sizable advantage in inteligence and size. The shark never had a chance. It was great video from a cruise ship or fairy, or something. Saw it about three years ago. The scientist were farily thrilled with it, they had been askig the same question for years.
As much as I like the Hulk, I do belive the Juggernaut kicked his butt once, so Godzilla and King knog would probally make short work of him. Now if you had put Venom, on a good day (Juggernaut kicked his butt too, but he was having an off day) up against the tag team, we may have a winner for the Marvel Universe.

Of the bear family, Polar Bears are by far the most cunning hunters. They're also the largest species of bear with one male specimen weighing 2,400 pounds. Bears have been known to take down huge prey that include moose (largest deer, some have been recorded to weigh in at 3,000 lbs.), elk, seals and in some cases, walrus (biggest specimens have weighed in at nearly 4,000 pounds). The Tiger on the other hand is much smaller, with the heaviest recorded weight was one male tipping the scales at 850 lbs. I'd say, the bear's bigger size and devastating knock-out swipe would make quick work of a tiger.
The Orca-Great White shark fight looks close on paper, but they're have been reported incidents of Orca's eating great whites. There's even a video on the net of a female killer whale feeding on a small (10 ft.) great white. Ultimately, orca's are bigger and much smarter. Orca every time.
Hulk vs. Godzilla. I love Godzilla but dude, the lil green guy is like the strongest character in the marvel universe. If he turned into savage hulk, he'd rip that lathargic lizard a brand new one.

Tiger only because they hunt down larger prey too and they're faster. On land speed gives you an advantage.
Orca because the Great White shark is a wuss.
And I am the end all about Godzilla and co. Eh hem... There were two movies made in a fight between Godzilla and King Kong, a chinese one and a Japanese one. However, the chinese one must be disregarded for a few reasons. In the chinese one, King Kong prevailed because he threw Godzilla into the water and he drowned. First of all, Godzilla hibernated in the ocean for a while, so it's obvious that he can breath underwater. Godzilla swims around all over the place too, so there's no way in hell he would drown. In the japanese one, King Kong and Godzilla both wound each other pretty badly, but Godzilla ends up cooking King Kong with his radiation breath. And it was pretty accurate in terms of their abilities. So it's obvious that Godzilla would take out King Kong. Now for Godzilla vs. Hulk. I'd have to say Godzilla takes the cake on this one, because it took a couple dozen nukes and a erupting volcano to kill Godzilla, in the last original Godzilla movie "Godzilla 1985". I've seen the hulk get knocked unconcious by a few laser bolts. Godzilla ate lazer bolts for breakfast, (as seen in Godzilla 1985 when he fought against the X jet when he ate missles and lasers). Hulk would have his green azz handed to him by Godzilla.

My wife's a biologist and for some time she specialized in large carnivores.
The bear vs. tiger debate is brought up alot but these fights have been documented. The Siberian tigers territory overlaps with two species of bear = the asiatic black bear and the gigantic siberian brown bears. Both the tiger and siberian black bear have been recorded preying on the smaller black bear. Most black bears in this region dont get bigger than 600 lbs. The largest tiger weighed in at nearly 900 lbs.
The brown bears that patrol these regions are altogether different. They are big mofo's usually weighing as much as american kodiak's. These ones are usually 8 ft. tall and weigh in the neighborhood of 1000-1300 lbs. There's an even larger subspecies called the Siberian Kamkatcha which is purpotedly the largest species of bear in existence with researches reportedly sighting ones standing 14 ft. tall and weighing over 2,000 lbs. None of these species have been shot and weighed so there is no real proof just many eyewitness accounts. The biggest bear ever recorded was a male polar weighing 2,300 lbs. and measuring 11.9 ft. tall.
The outcome of the fight depends and here's why:
1) A fight between a siberian tiger and a black bear - tiger will own. black bears are usually more docile than browns and give up alot of size to the big cat. BUT there was a segment in a National Geographic video that showed a small himalayan black bear (260 lbs.) fighting off a pair of bengal tigers (400 lbs. a piece)
2) A fight between a siberian tiger and a brown bear - this could go either way. A bear of equal size to the tiger or smaller is probably not a match because bears have more fat mass and less muscle. But brown bears are the most vicious fighter of the bear family. Viciousness goes a long way. I've seen wolverines fight off larger animals like wolves, mountain lions and even bears. The same can be said of pitbulls fighting off doberman's, saint bernard's or even great danes. That said, asiatic lions and even baboons have been known to fend off the small bengal tigers.
3) A fight between a siberian tiger and a seriously large bear is a wash. Brown bears have been known to trail siberian tigers and take their kill. A large Kamkatcha standing 6 ft. heigh at the shoulders and weighing moe than a ton can stop any land mammal except maybe elephants and rhino's with one back-breaking blow. Three male siberians were killed in 2000 by brown bears. Each tiger had large gaping wounds caused by a bear's claws. a- Size difference. A bear weighing 1,200lbs. + is larger than even the biggest Siberian. Fat mass weighs a lot less than muscle so imagine how much visual size a tiger would be giving up. b- With the huge size, a bear in winter grows extra layers of fat and more fur to gear up for hibernation. Doing more damage to the bear would be even tougher. c- Bears have a higher ferociousness factor. Because they scavenge often and come into contact with other bears, bears are the more aggressive of the two. A tiger's method of attack on larger prey is by going for the throat. Bears are virtually impenetrable to this attack because of humongous neck girth, fat and fir armouring and because they're fast. Unlike an elk or deer, a bear would be buckling like a bull wailing its 6inch's claws like mike tyson. d- The knockout blow. Every strike from a bear is a knockout blow. Because they scavenge for berries and ground-dwelling prey, they're claws have evolved to extraordinary growth. Some have measure up to 7inch's long. Imagine the damage that would do with a 900 lb. swing. e- Bears are well-known pit fighters that's why they're on the california flag. In the 1800's and 1900's, bears were pitted against wolf packs, bulldogs, bulls and other large animals. Most of the time the bear was the victor. From a first-hand witness a bear cracked an angus bull's skull with one swing. Another made quick work of a full-grown male lion.
And those are the facts!
