Remember when there was all the hooplah about a tigress that killed a grizzly bigger than herself? As it turned out, the sub-adult bear was heavier than the tigress while she had a head-body length advantage of about 14 inches ( 35.56 cm ). A grizzly is broader, greater girth. Much thicker at the hips.

Body length is going to determine bipedal height, they are one and the same, especially when a Tiger will have a flexible spine which will be able to make it stand even taller. When comparing both you should use HBL and Shoulder height, even then it will depend on measurement technique, if between the pegs its one thing but over the curves will add length to a Grizzly since they have their larger shoulder hump and a more rounded rear.

In regards to "broader" if you look at chest girth, they are fairly close, correlation between body weight and chest girth seems to overlap significantly, I'd also venture to guess that limb girth will be close as well, I'd bet the Tiger could possibly be larger in that department, at least the forearms, the midsection *stomach area* and hindquarters I'd say the Bear for sure is thicker there but again, it's about comparing the overall weight distribution.
