I'd out Sarcosuchus imperator up for a vote as far as land based creatures. A 40 foot long, 8 ton croc would be pretty gawdamn lethal.

My favorite growing up was Triceratops.
Always thought of it as a gentle giant, until you pissed it off.
Remember reading books as a kid with big old illustrations of it and a T-Rex battling it out, with giant volcanic explosions in the background.
Memories....

How about a Haast's Eagle?
or maybe a Smilodon (Sabertooth Tiger)
or Gigantopithecus blackii, a 10 ft tall, 1200 pound ape
All of which coexisted with modern day humans.

As far as land based predator mammals, I think Ursus maritimus tyrannus might be the be all, end all.
I don't know if they have ever recovered a full skeleton yet, but what I have read, it was much larger then todays polar, and the extinct short-faced bears, by some margin.
