Personally, I have to go with the Snow Leopard. I say this because the cheetah is all speed and no strength, and it can't run forever. Plus if it was on high ground where the Snow Leopard prefers, it would pounce onto the cheetah and rip it to shreds before the cheetah could say: Uh oh.
Omg, this is so weird this thread came up. Yesterday, my friend and I were watching tv and an advert for some nature program came up with a snow leopard in it. He went on and on about how he thought they were the coolest animals to walk the earth. Another friend of mine then said ''if you love them so much, why don't you screw one of them?'' (classy, I know), to which my friend replied, ''but Lewis, I don't want to have sex with snow leopards, I just think they are magnificent creatures''. It made me laugh so hard.
I digress, in answer to the OP, I think you basically have the right idea, so far as my knowledge of big cats goes. Leopards are much stronger creatures, and so in a one on one fight, it'd be like watching a bantum weight vs a heavyweight boxing match. No prizes for guessing who wins.
where are they. if they are in a plain cage then snow leopard if they are in a forest then cheetah. snow leopard is a better fighter but if the cheetah can hide then the leopard has no chance
Actually, the cheetah isn't as good with camoflauge as the snow leopard. The snow leopard can wait as a mountain goat is three feet from it, then WHAM.
