In a hypothetical fight between a cougar and a Grizzly Bear who would win? Also, would other large cats such as tigers leopards etc. be able to take on the bear?

No, the Grizzly is the second most powerful predator on the face of the Earth, after the polar bear. The large cats would not win.

In a small enclosed space a grizzly will win. WHY? 1 A grizzly can weifgh 2 times a tigers weight. And thats al I can think of. The grizzly is just too heavy

Nothing could beat them. Give them a heck of a scrap I'm sure, but we're talking an animal that stands 9-10 feet tall, weighs 1200+ pounds, has a mouth that can take a 20 lb. turkey in one bite, and can disembowel a horse with one swipe of it's massive mauler.
I've been up close to them when they're freshly hunted and it's a very VERY humbling experience.
It took my friend 6 shots from a .375 Weatherby with 200+ grains of powder and 1/2 ounce hollow point tips to drop the behemoth.
In comparison, one of those rounds can drop a 1500 lb. bull moose at 200 yards. Not one shot he took was more than 100 yards.
One of its claws was almost 4" long and as big around as your thumb. Even a lion couldn't stand more than one or two hits from a fully extended foot.
This particular bear was baited with a 45 gallon steel drum full of fryer grease and it actually RIPPED the side out of the metal drum with its' raw force.
No kidding, I had nightmares for a week just from standing beside a dead Kodiak, it was that awe-inspiring.
I've been near to live cougars and lions and never came close to experiencing the bowl of fruit I had in my pants that day. And remember, it was DEAD!
Get the point?
