There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I am talking about the same weight only, if a tiger is 100lbs lighter its going to be not as strong most likely.
But if they are the same weight, tiger being longer and bear being "stockier" it will mean nothing when comparing strength. Like its already stated, if weight is equal, strength can go either way. A tiger doesn't gain its full weight until it reaches its full length, usually. That has to do with anatomical structure and weight distribution.
Compare Jon Jones 6'5'' to Daniel Cormier 5'9''(athletes)
Polar opposites in body type, both weigh in at 205lbs and neither overpowered the other. The same will work out with any animal, weight is the determining factor of strength, Stocky or broad has nothing to do with it. In fact, longer body or limbs can create leverage off of angles and strengthen their base or the opposite can work, being close to the ground can make them difficult to dominate and control.
Like I stated, the strongest man for (strong man) is 6'9'' which is any thing but "stocky".
I can state a million examples that can benefit your point or defeat it, but its useless. Strength comes from anatomical structure and weight aka weight distribution. If two animals are equal in weight but they are built differently it will depend on their physical needs and they way their weight is distributed. But if one animal is going to have a significant weight advantage, they are going to be the stronger animal most often.
