I think that the respect that most animals have for other animals that are larger than themselves would play a large role here. I would think that the gorilla would be frightened of such a large animal, and in most cases lose the fight.
I'm guessing that since the gorilla has less tools in terms of natural weapons, and defense that it would be the underdog here, and would be clawed deep enough for it to go into shock. My vote is in favor of the bear winning in most cases.

Depends on the situation, really. If you are a predator acting aggressive towards a Silverback's troop, you can kiss your *ss good bye. You will get "zero respect" even if you're as large as full-grown, male Kodiak Bear.

But if the numbers were equal; such-as, if there were 4 Kodiaks on the field, while there were as many Silverbacks. In the end the Kodiak bears would still hold a size advantage.
All Animals respect size (unless they are rabid or some other mental issue). I was under the impression that Kodiaks could hit with an average force of 900-980 lbs with a casual paw strike. Add to this dagger like claws, and one hit would drive the more sensitive minded creature into shock due to large flesh trauma and bleeding. Mostly due to the bleeding.

Sorry for some reason I didnt see your post. The Gorilla is stronger that's for sure, but the bears claws make up a lot of yardage due to striking power. The possibility of parasites beneath it's claws exists as well which in most cases contains enzymes much like poison, which necrotizes flesh at a high rate. <--- (Bear feces is a loaded weapon).
All of that being said though, the gorilla could strike first, and it would be over. Maybe.

That's not true.
Have you ever seen a queen protect her kittens? Those little sh*ts get very aggressive: even to a human that can easily kill it with a single head stomp.
Same with birds: have you ever seen a bird attack a human walking past?
You should watch more nature shows...or youtube vids. lol

What if the same were to be said of a bear protecting her cubs? You see you can't just give the gorilla the situational advantage, without giving the same advantages to the bear.
I wonder which would win between the largest, and strongest Silverback gorilla ever vs the now extinct, Short-faced bear?

The situation is they are both fighting each other for serials: you can't just assume that the gorilla is in a situation where it doesn't want to fight. Nor can you assume for the bear.

If you are going to do that, make sure you use proper parallels where the biggest from each category are measured up:
A large male short-faced bear
vs.

If biological warfare is being included in this match, then the gorilla clearly has the greater offensive/advantage. They're highly skilled at throwing their feces in rapid burst and with extreme accuracy.
Gorillas are also inherent masters of all forms of martial arts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhjqm1-Db9o&feature=fvwrel

I'm betting that in most cases, both would die.

Oh mean you mean this gate key?
^The commentators in that video obviously don't understand the principle of a neck crushing bite.
It's entirely conceivable that a leopard can take down a gorilla, gorillas aren't very maneuverable with their heavy shoulders (IIRC they have to turn their entire body to look behind them) and a leopard could exploit that.

Sir, respectfully, I strongly doubt the fight would play out like that. Gorillas aren't the natural born killers that bears are. There's a video on YouTube of a 350 lb female grizzly killing a 370 lb male caribou.
Something like a tiger would easily kill a gorilla, and a bear is even bigger and stronger.
I think Nile Crocodile vs Kodiak Bear is a better fight. The bear could win with its ridiculous strength, but it better be careful in this fight, because its first mistake would be its last.
