Do you think the large males of Kruger and Sabi Sands may be able to take on Silverback?

You question is interesting, but I think that will be important to ask what type of gorilla is involved.

Recently I made a new comparative image of the body size of the two species of gorillla and there is some differences on the dimentions, check this:

So, if the leopard attack the smallest species it will had more advantage than if it attack the biggest one.

Some time ago I also created a comparative image of the large carnivores of India, here you can check the body size of an average sized Indian leopard:

I guess that the diference in size between the African and the India leopard is not too much, so you can use it as surrogate and get an idea of the size between these two species (predatos and prey) and try to get a conclution.
