Tybaltcapulet's "I'll be there, always" Edges:

Weapons: I give this to Simba only because he's got the extra power of a lion with his claws and teeth. If he was a lower weight cat I would say Tarzan because of his experience with Sabor. I mean hell Tarzan was even able to retrieve the end of the spear and use it against Sabor while still in a high intensity fight with her and is able to keep himself even more agile with it. But with Simba's strength it could totally shatter the spear and make it impossible to use.Edge:Simba

Abilities: I think even with Simba's durability, Tarzan can match and overcome it. Looking at the pure strength of this dude, who can easily handle heavier weights than Simba, something none of Simba's other opponents can even dream of matching. There's also the fact that Tarzan is an extremely quick, dodging literal bullet from close range. So even if Simba can reach a lion's top speed of 49 mph which we haven't seen much proof of his speed, he would have to try very hard to get blows upon Tarzan. These are very important abilities for one to have for dealing with a big cat such as Simba, and I think it's more useful in the long run.Edge:Tarzan

Overall/X-factors: I'm breaking this tie in favor of Tarzan. I think my comrade Jacky is focusing a bit too much on Simba and his opportunity for stealth attacks. I mean are we just going to pretend that Tarzan has no experience with being sneaked upon by Sabor? Granted Kerchak was there to intervene, but Tarzan has grown up in the harsh world of his jungle, and was able to instinctively GTFO of the way before Sabor got to him. And the only reason the Simba beats Tarzan is because Simba is an animal that has its own instincts. Besides this I think that Tarzan being totally unfamiliar to Simba along with his resourcefulness and intelligence is a major boon to a fight like this. He is an extremely quick learner who is quick to adapt to situations, makes traps, and even his own weapons, which again Simba is totally unused to. And Simba isn't even an experienced lion such as Nala, and was even given a decent fight from Scar who is a very lazy and notoriously physically weak lion.Sure he had some skirmishes with Zira's group, but it doesn't cover the experience Tarzan has with big cats and the threats of his world which he has been dealing with since childhood. Simba will be a fearsome opponent, especially in the savannah, but I believe that Tarzan has enough experience, human intelligence and superhuman feats of his own to defeat the mostly brute strength reliant lion.
