I'm thinking the bear is less dangerous than the other two, but what do you think?

Of course they can make you dead. I meant, if you were stuck in a cage with them, which one do you think would kill you more horrific?

Tigers it is.

Tigers are the most dangerous for people because they live in ares where people are living. Evan if they are not hungry they still kill someone.
Lions are also very dangerous but very seldom they come to villages. If they are full they will attack only to protect their territory.
Bears are attacking only to protect the babies, not necessary to eat humans.

Most bears are omnivorous, meaning they will eat just about anything, including meat, berries, leaves, roots, garbage, etc. However, the Polar Bear is a true carnivour and is huge. Its arsenal of weapons are very lethal giving the tremendous strength that is behind them. However, the Lion and Tiger's arsenal are much more deadly, razor sharp claws, very strong (although not as strong as the Polar Bear), and its sharp feline teeth, made for grasping and tearing. A bear's teeth are more canine.
Although, all of these animals are lethal to humans in a one-on-one encounter in an enclosed area, I think that death would come a lot faster and relatively less painfully at the hands of a lion or tiger, than at the hand of a bear.
In the wild, due to their proximity to humans, and the lack of natural prey, as well as there continually diminishing habitat, the tiger is the most dangerous.

Tigers have severely injured their handlers while barely playing. Human skin s easily lacerated by a big cat s claws, and their long canines can reach deep into a human body, plus they can throw around an adult person like a rag doll. Bears are mostly clumsy and dumb and don t know quiet what they re doing when trying to make a kill. Tigers and lions however have more efficient killing techniques. An adult male lion could take on a cape buffalo,which are large, mean and very strong. They fight with each other, 100s of kg of muscle, claws and all, and often come out unscathed.

Tigers are the most dangerous (to humans).
Bears generally don't go around hunting animals that are as large as a human. Tigers and Lions, on the other hand, hunt animals which are bigger than humans. Between the two, tigers are more dangerous. Lions are lazy, especially the males. They would much rather let someone else do the hunting and then waltz in and steal the carcass. Tigers are more energetic and actually seem to enjoy the chase.

Tigers, due to their much larger size than a lion. Also, they are 100% carnivores (as are lions). They are able to easily catch and kill a large animal, including a human (but they instinctively fear humans and will not confront a person if the tiger can stay out of the way). And, yes, bears (Grizzly Bears, Kodiak Bears, which our idiot scientists just call "Brown Bears", as if they are just large dogs!) are HUGE -- maybe eight feet tall when they stand up. BUT, they are omnivores and don't hurt humans unless to protect themselves or their cubs! If they do kill a human out of protection, they will not generally eat him, unless the are starved, because they do not see that as a source of food.

Actually, lions are the most dangerous to us. They cause over 400 deaths in a year. They're lazy, but they're also highly confrontational and territorial.
Tigers on the other hand, are without a doubt more deadly. Lions weigh on average 400 lbs. tigers can weigh up to 700. So locked in a cage with one as you put it? A tiger.

I think Tigers would be the most dangerous... -whereas Lions tend to be more scavengers, and Bears- opportunists. Still, I wouldn't want to get into a fist-fight with any of them, -would You??! :)

I recently saw a program that said tigers were the most dangerous.

The large bears (Kodiac, polar are unbeatable). Prehistoric bears were much larger than any mammal predator today and could kill almost anything.
