Lions fights other cats in their pride. How often do Tigers even run into another tiger? So experience goes to the lion.
Tigers kill by grabbing the throat with their teeth and letting the prey suffocate. Lion has a big wirey mane around his neck - something evolution gave him for… Fighting other big cats.
Yes the tiger is bigger, but the lion has the tools and experience to overcome that small size difference.
All the time. While tigers lead solitary lifestyles, they’re not devoid of socialization. Territories overlap and lead to peaceful interactions and conflicts over borders. Sometimes they even cooperate in hunting or live together, though that’s less frequent. The nature of their interactions is mostly dictated by sexual relations and the ratio of tigers to prey.
This is not meant to contribute to the tiger vs lion issue.
I also think it’s interesting to note that while the mane serves a practical purpose, it’s also wildly oversized as a result of sexual selection.

Oh Tigers also kill by ripping and shredding when the occasion calls for it…
