I found this
 A charging lion can topple over the biggest giraffe. A group of lions can bring down a full-grown hippopotamus.

Again, let's be realistic.
What do you mean "Knock"
A Lion is not coming close to Knocking over a 2 Ton Elephant or Bull Cape that weighs less than a Ton.

If 3 male lions still get overpowered, what chance does one male Lion have in overpowering an alpha Cape Bull?
Hamstringing is a different story. 
Maybe if a Lion gets a full head of steam and blindsides a Bull it may have a chance of knocking it off balance but that's a stretch imo.

here is the thread again for you to view and see what Big Cape Bulls are actually capable of.
