Or how about a bear vs a lion or a gorilla, keep in mind these would all weigh 170 kg so it's fair

for the Lion vs Gorilla, I think that in a normal circumstance, the Lion has a good chance to win due to his stronger jaw and razor sharp claws. There is always a change that the gorilla slams on his back and crack the spine but in a general situation, Lion wins.

As for the Bear-Lion-Gorilla, the at 170 the bear would have a disadvantage as he's not as mobile as the other ones and his balance isn't that great either due to the length of the fore legs. At his normal size though, the bear (especially Grizzly or Polar) normally wins against all the others due to thickness of his skin, size and overall power. I don't recall when exactly but I remember that I've seen a documentary where they were discussing these things and they were saying that because of the factors I specified, the bear would normally win though in the nature with these kind of beasts, anybody at some point could potentially pull a win.

In terms of the bear it would really be heavily dependant on the type of bear. There are so many types and some of them ie Panda's are really quite docile. But some types of bear can get to in excess of 500 kilo's. A lion would be having it rough if he doesn't get the first strike in effectively enough. A bear like that would be significantly stronger IMO. I could see the solitary lion running away.

I don't know about the gorilla as I know far less about them.

Let's say something else than the black bear or the Panda, a Kodiak, a Grizzly or a Polar. Not only are they 3-4 times bigger and stronger but their skin is thicker and a bear has between 3 and 5 adrenaline glands... so when he's pissed off and angry... he doesn't feel pain and he's quite nasty

Yeah, bears are fascinating, I was watching a BBC documentary about them the other day. I love how some of the daddy bears live solitary lives and try to eat the cubs if they come into contact with them. What do the mothers ever see in these brutes?

I don't think many bears are docile - pandas are not a member of the bear family. The most docile bear is probably Yogi and he gets plus points in that he clearly beats Ranger Smith in a one-on-one as he is smarter than the average bear.
