So let's see if this work's...
Okay well I guess I'll break the ice then...
Now to clarify the standard's of there weight's, a grizzley does not average anything what ton's of secoundary site's say, such as wiki or grizzley world, or any other fan base site, I'll only except weight's that directly proven they are weighed, no estimation's.
Here, these are what brown bear's average as weighed in a census...

Now, we are talking the average bear, not a freak of nature, which I'll implement a bear can reach pass the 1,000 pound mark, yes I know... but I would bet a 850 pound fit prime brown bear would take out a world record 1,700 pounder Kodiak, why? Bear's are classed omnivore's an have an exact same geno imprint that we human's have, of store-ing different type's of nutrient's albiet a prolonged dietary suplement subsituting the carnivore's meat eating gene, of other energy extract's instead of fat/bulk storage container's, which omnivore's have and not carnivors, that is why a human can also reach a 1,000 pound's, but would that extra weight give any leverage in a fight in combat? Sorry but no.
-
It would be the same way a 260 pound brock lesnar, would be able to just slap around a 1,000 pound human, he is not mobile to even operate at basic jogging let alone just walking, it's the same imprint on bear's.
-
Now, people get the mis-interpintaion of weight's, if a census has weighed 10 bear's an all 9 male's are 400-600 pound's an 1 is 1,100, that does not mean they average 800 pound's no it just mean's one was 1,100 pound's, implementing they can breach the barrier but it would be a rarity, the same way the average human weigh's around 170 pound's if there was 10 human's weighed an 9 were 170 pound's an 1 obese human was 1,000 pound's that dosent mean human's will average 700 pound's...the same way you would hardly find 800 pound lion's and tiger's, Buuut there are 800 pound lion and tiger's an some even heviar then that, but again bear's are prone to vegitaion an bug's, honey, poltry an other dietary supliment's that there omnivore gene store's different type's of nutrient's.
-
We are going to talk average, again bear's as you could see by one of the census I showed, which I'll get more weight's that I have in my data base a little later for more credability. Now, even brown bear's dont grow as big as you think they do, they average the same size of your average lion and tiger, here let me show you some adult's...

Black an brown bear's arnt really monster's like most site's claim they are, again I'm not saying it's really rare for bear's to get big but were trying to enphinsize a wild scenario not a captive over weight, tamed pit fight.
-
The superiorty of anatomy goes to the lion and tiger for having a much harder bite, bear's are omnivore's an have there back teeth smaller an less densar than lion's and tiger's more for eating vegation here's showing a bear's back teeth...

The physiology of there teeth size's an built show the bear's blunt teeth are more for vegitation and are very small, while the lion's and tiger's have bigger more dense jagged teeth, for tearing meat and breaking bone's.
-
Even the bone denisty of alaskan brown bear's have been showed to have the same density of african lion's at 1.27, yet bear's have more cavity's in there marrow which make's them more brittle, as lion's have less marrow in there outer wall's for more acrobatical movement's with maintaining output power. So that exploit's the fable of bear's being able to shatter a lion's skull, which bear's were never known to be striker's only more of sumo wrestler's, an there claw's biliogyare made more for digging up clam's or searching and stashing food's more than actually a combat weapon, which it still is, yet lion's and tiger's are retractable, for gipping an/or tearing.
-
Bear's are actually not good fighter's, before I get into the heavy hitter's of the lion and tiger, I'll implement size is not the only factor, by naming a few account's of just there smaller cousin's the puma besting an killing adult black and brown bear's here...

1.)*Cougar kills black bear in fight to the death.
One oft-mentioned tussle between a black bear and a cougar was apparently observed by Major John C. Cremony, who served with the U.S. Boundary Commission in the Southwest Between 1849 and 1951. Cremony, accompanied by Apache guides, had been hunting cougars along the Pecos in the vicinity of what is now Ft. Sumner when the group heard a dreadful but unidentifiable sound. Curious as to what could be making such noises and seeking out the source, they came upon a life-and-death battle between a cougar and a black bear. The bear was quite evidently not enthused about the encounter and would have liked to have broken off hostilities and gone away, but the cougar was apparently deeply intent upon killing the bear. After a number of skirmishes, the cougar successfully clawed through the bear's vital organs. After despatching the bear, the cougar licked its wounds, took hold of the bear's carcass, and dragged it to a more secluded place, where it began to cover the carcass for a later meal. It was at this point that one of the Apache guides killed the cougar.
~ Cremony, Life Among the Apaches, 1951, 225-26, a reprint of the 1868 edition.
2.)Female Cougar and Grizzly Bear fight.
Ernest Thompson Seton (1929, 90-91) writes that G. W. Ferguson "recorded" a fight between a grizzly and a female cougar that was witnessed by two miners working a claim near Murry, Idaho. It was reported that a female cougar had a den and kittens in the vicinity, and when a grizzly, apparently unknowingly, approached the den, the mother cougar attacked the grizzly. During what the miners described as a fierce battle, the combatants fell off a mountain ledge and both where killed as a result of the fall. The miners claimed the cougar was still hanging on to the grizzly's cheek with her teeth; the bears back and throat were torn and lacerated and "his belly hide ripped into ribbons, mute evidence of the fact that all her paws with their 18 sharp claws had not been idle" (612).
~ Ernest Thompson Seton (1929, 90-91)

3.) Another instance of deadly confrontation between a cougar and black bear took place some time prior to 1800 near Schuylerville, now Saratoga, New York. An early settler, Mynheer Barhydt, had just built a cabin within Bear Swamp and witnessed the battle. Barhydt indicated that the bear had discovered the cougar's den and, in the absence of the mother cougar, killed the cougar's young. Soon thereafter, the cougar arrived and attacked the bear, reportedly with an awesome display of fury. The cougar eventually implanted her claws so deply in adversary's body that the bear could not throw her off. In the struggle, which Barhydt claimed lasted more than an hour, the two animals rolled over each other into a ravine, and when all became still Barhydt looked down, over the edge, and saw both animals were dead. (Stone 1975, 137-39, and Bradley 1940, 116).

4.) "According to Frank Post of Big Sur, mountain lions sometimes were taken in the live traps built near Monterey to catch bears for the arena. Then a bear-and-lion fight would be aranged. Mr. Post saw such a contest at Castroville in 1865 when he was six years old, and remembered it vividly. The lion, which seemed to have no fear, leaped onto the bear's back and while clinging there and facing forward scratched the grizzly's eyes and nose with its claws. The bear repeatedly rolled over onto the ground to rid himself of his adversary; but as soon as the bear was upright, the cat would leap onto his back again. This agility finally decided the struggle in favor of the lion."
(California Grizzly,*Tracy*Irwin Storer)*************

5.)***"The Indians of California told stories of fights between grizzly bears and lions, with the lion normally the winner, and hunters and others relate stories of fierce conflicts with no clearcut winner, and most often two losers. They describe them as terribly noisy fights with the ground torn up where the skirmishes occurred. The bear would rise to meet the cat's thrusts and throw the cat to the ground. The cat would grasp the bear near the throat and use its hind feet to rake the bear's stomach and chest. The bear was stronger, but the clawing of the cat was highly effective, injuring the bear and causing it to release its holds. Normally they would part, both bloody and battered and neither the winner."
(The Great Bear Almanac)

6.)** "Three California accounts detail something of the antagonism between the grizzly and the mountain lion, or panther. Livingston Stone (1883 : 1189) was told by the McCloud River Indians that the panther always killed the grizzly when the two fought. They said that the grizzly was afraid of the lion and that the latter would spring on the bear's shoulders and cut its throat. Stone saw places in the mountains where the ground had been torn up, evidence of a desperate conflict between a panther and a bear. The Indians said they had found bears killed by panthers but no panther a bear had killed."

7.)*** An actual bear-and-panther fight in the central coast region was watched in the 1840's. Three hunters, originally seeking a female grizzly with cubs, had been grounded by the escape of their horses. Going cautiously along a creek bordered by willows and grapevines, they approached a waterfall that plunded into a green, transparent pool over which a large tree had fallen.
* * * * “With the sounds of the torrent came . . . the growls of two wild beasts, alternate and furious.
* * * * On the right hand, squatted on one end of the bridge, was a small, male grizzly, and opposite to him, at the other end, a fully grown panther, who was tearing up the bark of the trunk, and gathering and relaxing herself as if for a spring. The alternate roaring of these infuriated beasts filled the valley with horrible echoes. We watched them a minute or more. The bear was wounded, a large flap of flesh torn over its left eye, and the blood dripping into the pool. My companion bade me shoot the tiger, while he [Colin Preston] took charge of the bear. We fired at the same instant; but, instead of falling, these two forest warrior rushed together at the centre of the bridge, the bear rising and opening to ceceive the tiger, who fixed her mighty jaws in the throat of her antagonist, and began kicking at his bowels with the force of an engine. At the instant both rolled over, plunged, and disappeared. We could see them struggling in the depths of the pool; bubbles of air rose to the surface, and the water became dark with gore. It may have been five minutes or more before they floated up dead, and their bodies rolled slowly down the stream. (Anon., 1857 : 823., California Grizzly)

An please, if anyone is going to bring in the california grizzley archive's then bring the root source, not the edited one or the hear say one, just the real record's because I have read a few page's from the priginal book, yet everyone hasnt been honest what the book really state's which was bear's lost when american settler's demanded in keeping the fight's fair an exploited that they gave every leverage to the bear, by sawing off the bulls horn's using a broken down abondin lion again they state the bear won every time yet the book only mentioned one with a lion an when the fight's were kept fair horses bull's an other animal's killed the bear so often, that bear's were then only pitted with donkey's, until the sport died out becuause it wasnt worth vuying a bear for such high cost an the other animal's would often be the victor's.
