No animal can kill any other large size animal with a single paw swipe (barring a once in a lifetime freak occurrence) that is just ludicrous...
Interior Grizzly Bears (aka Bears that live in the Interior parts of USA/Canada/Interior Alaska and don't have access to Salmon runs) average 450-600lbs depending on the population....There have been some 800+lb freak Bears caught in Denali National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Banff National Park etc etc, but that is not the norm....
Anyway a Polar Bear (average 800-1500lbs) and a Coastal Brown Bear/Kodiak Brown Bear (average 700-1400lbs) would destroy any Lion/Tiger simply because of size alone....So if you are a Bear fan those are the two that would whoop any Cat easily...
The average Interior Grizzly is only slightly larger than the average Lion/Tiger and would likely be a good competitive fight....Could probably go either way....
