Which are stronger pound for pound Herbivores or Carnivores?

This is quite difficult question and how to compare. I mean, that even though we could get results, that some animal is able to move, let´s say 4 times it´s own body weight when weighing 200 kg, it doesn´t mean, that if it would weight 800 kg, that it could still move 4 times it´s own body weight, it could drop to 2-3 times when weight rising. Maybe someone has better information about this, but maybe fairest comparisons are when animals are relatively close what comes to size, not like tiger and gaur for instance, where other one is so much smaller and has advantage in this kind of comparison. 

I just have this mental image, that the bigger the animal is, it is weaker in pound to pound comparison, but that doesn´t necessary mean, that it would have weaker muscles than some smaller animal.
