I don't feel really competent in this domain, maybe @tigerluver could do you a favor about the limbs comparison.

But from what I read in some paper, some Smilodon populator specimens got its limb robusticity exceeded that of the Brown bear.

Let's us take a look about the comparison of the entire skeleton. IMO, S.populator could have slightly upper hand in term of the limb bones. However, the torso domain would still go to the Brown bear. As anatomically, the bear got quite different body structure from feline as a plantigrade animal, it has more centered toward the leverage of the torso.
