I'm going polar bear on this one.

1. Me too. I think the bears outnumber the tigers.

global conflictly speaking.

3. You may be right

"No adequate census exists on which to base a worldwide population estimate, but biologists use a working figure of perhaps 22,000 to 25,000 bears with about sixty percent of those living in Canada." -from Polar Bears International

7500 total Tigers worldwide not just Siberian

Their territories overlap in the Russian Far East. Tigers are more cunning so I think it may be close in an overall Tiger/Polar Bear global conflict.

2. Polar Bear has trained harder in the lead up to this fight!

After Siberian Tigers 12 round decision over Rhino in Reno, he's been hangin' on South Beach and hasn't exactly kept his regimen.
I see the reach advantage of Bear and the loss of speed with the weight gained by Tiger combining for a Fourth round knockout for the Big White Bear!! By the way...who's on the under card?

4. Tiger weighs in at 305 kg (671 lbs)

Male Polar bears can weigh up to 800 kilograms (almost 2,000 pounds) and measure three metres in length (nearly ten feet long). Tiger seems more agile and is still pretty powerful

5. Polar bears outnumber Siberian tigers, but...

Like most bears, they're technically omnivorous, even if there aren't that many berries up north to nibble on.

Tigers are pure carnivore, which would make them more aggressive. Also, they're quicker.

I vote the Siberian tigers.

9. That's a tough battle.

I'll have to go tiger unless the bear gets in the headslap right away. That's the only way I see him winning.
