Girth Comparaison of Animals

I just posted the first tiger I found facing forward. Besides, your "robust" choices are little better; not in the same league as a grizzly. 
You want to compare the girth of a seven-foot-tall tiger with that of a six-foot-tall grizzly. What's the point? Have you ever heard of fair play?

No, I'd like to compare two adult individuals at equal weights... Since Tigers don't get to 500kg it's a little hard to compare them, isn't?

In regards to @Polar assumption...
Lets take a look and see.

The Bears used average 264kg w/an average chest girth of 137
The Tigers used average 216kg and 204kg w/an average chest girth of 119 and 130

We cannot compare forelimb girth since I've been unable to find much data for bears limb girth, but to go a long with chest girth and neck girth, I'd venture to guess their Limb girth would have the same similarities as anything else.

So brobear, I hope you understand what I'm saying. You must take into account body morphology, Tigers are generally longer in HBL while Bears are generally taller at the shoulder, it's "fair play" to compare them since their composition is different, weights is the only way we can compare muscle mass unless you are willing to extrapolate a 250kg Tiger to match up with a 400kg bear which I don't have the capabilities to do but I'm sure a few on here could do it if they were interested in our silly discussion.
