The lion is always labeled king of the jungle but if a lion and a tiger got into a fight, odds would heavily favor the tiger so really, the tiger is the king of the jungle.

Sorry Track.............the lion wins. This is a pic of the lion you see at the beginning of MGM movies
I'd say the chances of a lion and tiger ever meeting is pretty low. They don't tend to hang out in the same areas
One lion against one elephant, I would bet on the elephant winning.
Rhinos are my favourites though. They are lovely. Too un-pretty to be universally loved unfortunately, so don't get the public outrage, and subsequent protection from poachers.

Its a no brainer. A wild lion would win hands down because the wild lion has a lifetime experience of fighting other male lions. Size really isn’t everything..
Notice in this profile, the Tiger is not significantly bigger than a lion despite having possibly several hundred pounds more weight.. This is important because it indicates the strength of the Tiger is much greater due to higher muscle density. Denser muscle is also stronger muscle. Also notice the width of the legs on the tiger and his lower center of gravity. This makes it easier for the Tiger to remain low and avoid attack. Despite being lower when going in for a leap attack or rearing up on its hind quarters, it can reach a greater distance and swipe with a bigger, heavier paw before the lion can even reach. On hind legs, the tiger has more leverage than the lion, and in a fight, both will have to rear up to both block and strike. Lions are not as good at rearing up, and rely on the teeth and mouth as a primary weapon, then make attacks of opportunity with the claws. The neck tufts on a lion do protect its neck from most attacks, but the tiger has powerful rear claws it can use to dig into the lion’s belly if it can get him on the ground and can easily land potent swipes with the front paws and its three inch long claws. Lions just don’t have as much leverage for such a swipe.
