If you're in a debate forum you should expect others to debate or disagree with what you said, so I'm not retracting anything. In fact the only one that went on to make accusations about the reasoning of our opinions was you.

The study you posted showed that when the two species overlap in size there is no clear dominance of one over the other, this dissipates when the jaguar is the larger animal. Furthermore, the cougars of Central America have never been registered badly injuring or killing a jaguar, while the opposite has been recorded as mentioned before, hence why there is reason to suggest that the jaguar will come out as victorious in a fight more oftem than not thanks to its more robust build which translates to more body strength.

One addition. Before you try to lecture about respect and other things, remember this what you wrote quite a little time ago: "And there are people who unironically believe a leopard can put up a fight against a lioness or a much larger jaguar."

And that sentence was related to quite poor example to what comes to this kind of issue overall. It´s ok to have opinions, but when talking about respect, it´s good to think twice before writing things. You didn´t show much respect there to people who disagree you if asked from me. So I hope that after this you also remember, that disagreeing is ok, but what comes to disrespecting it´s another thing. Reply
