But I agree male lions treat younger males very differently than older males, with both attacking and boldness, when faced with younger intruders, it seems that if old dominant males comes in groupes they will almost every time try to kill one of the intruders if they are young, mapogo and majingilane are perfect examples of that. 

And I fully agree with you're theory that lions can probably hear the difference between young and mature males, it makes a lot of sense. There is a clip on YouTube where one large male from the crater confronts 4 males and wins, that's an impressive sight, how he intimidates 3 and fights of one. Would have lost if all attacked, but he had the experience and bravery he needed!

Also so where have you seen tigers fight of several attackers? That must have been in captivity. 

 

Baikal in captivity got into the cage of 2 brothers and fought to the death, the video is available here, you would have to search to find it. But I believe you saw it, where the tiger pair adopted a similar style as a lion coalition, one distracted the male while the other began the attack from behind.
The 2nd is in the wild where a Single male took on two younger brothers and killed one of them and the other escaped. I would have to search for it, but @Roflcopters or @Apollo know which account I'm talking about.
I'll look for it...


Also, do you mind posting where you read this?
"I would probably say the matimbas are even more powerful than the Majingilanes, if I'm not completely wrong they have a coalition of three and the majingilane are four, but I have heard that the Matimbas are very big lions and that belly hair is the biggest male in Sabi Sands, and quoted by "rob the ranger" the majingilane are just about Average size, so I really see the matimbas as an very impressive coalition"
I like to see first hand accounts of Lions if possible
