People are putting way too much emphasis on weight. The arm/shoulder muscles of a gorilla would pose huge problems for the polar bear. You don't just get clubbed by a fist 5 times the size of a human hand and keep chuggin' along. Polar bears fight sea based creatures primarily, and they do it on land. That means 2 things: the creatures they fight are large and slow. A gorilla is by no means small, but it can move around extremely fast. It's not a clear cut victory for either of the two, but I can't see how so many people are dismissing the gorilla's chances like this.
