Both tiger and bear are the ultimate beasts. Bears are known for brutal strength where as tiger strength is athleticism combined with brute force. It is interesting match up and is tough to say who wins when equal size specimens fight.
When equal size sloth bear fights equal size bengal tiger the winner would be the sloth bear IMO because sloth bears have fearsome reputation and are believed to be pound for pound the strongest bears.
This can almost be applied to himalayan black bear they are also believed to be some of the strongest bears pound for pound. So, the tiger may be backing off after some fight if they are of same size. But if the tiger is bigger, he would be obviously the winner.
In case of siberian tiger too, the tiger domination depends on the tiger's athleticism and it's ability to grab the throat of the bear as soon as possible if they are of same weight. If the tiger is bigger, the tiger should be the winner.
