1st - Leopards are lone animal. so they avoid any injuries
2nd - Hyenas have one of the most powerful jaws in animal world. More powerful than any big cats.

Hyena tear the flesh while big cats penetrate it.

Social characteristics of hyena (dog like) are much better than big cats (Lions)

 

I believe BF is ranked by square each I believe, a hyennas jaw is far smaller than a Lions. Also, GWS and Crocs have far higher BF than any land animals I believe.

Remember, when you see a Lion bite a hyenna, it is usually death. When you see a Hyenna bite a lion, its usually a nip. Just look at how long it takes a hyenna clan to defeat a lone lion, yet look at how fast a male lion will storm a entire clan and grab one hyenna and kill it with in seconds.
A animal with that much more mass is going to have far more power.

I also don't think I agree with hyennas being better as a team than lions, they both are unreal social animals, and lions take down far more impressive prey and use teamwork extremely well.  I wouldn't say one is better than another. Nor do I think anybody else can say that either.
