Most of the time I think a prime croc can defend itself pretty well even on land.

My estimation is pretty much, that if such fight would happen against all odds, it would end soon to situation where they just disperse. Tiger is in those sizes unable to do any real damage to croc and crocodile on the other hand should be lucky to be able to actually get the tiger. If other one would get injured seriously, then most probably it would be the tiger by tail of croc. Or maybe if croc had one of the good days, would actually be able to bite. Tigers best chance might be lucky clawing to the eye of croc. I don´t see any other part of croc that size, what tiger could seriously hurt there so, that croc would be in any real trouble. That size of croc should be able to retreat to water even if tiger on back of it. And for sure tiger would have no desire to be there anymore, when croc gets there. Maybe something like that might happen if croc would come to land and tiger there eating his prey. Hard to imagine, that tiger would in some other situation try his luck with... should I say "monster size" croc.

But false attacks like housecats do to alligators, why not. Reply
