Irish Wolfhound
The breed won its name because of its ability to hunt wolves, so it's not surprising to see them on this list. Irish Wolfhounds can weigh up to 200 pounds and reach a height of up to 32 inches. Their bite force is 224 psi. It is their size and speed that can overpower that of a wolf.
A lion would win in a fight against a wolf. Although lions and wolves are both carnivores with potent fighting abilities, a lion is overwhelmingly larger and stronger than a wolf.
Roosevelt wrote that many ranchmen of Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana in the final decade of the 19th century managed to breed greyhound or deerhound packs capable of killing wolves unassisted, if numbering in three or more. These greyhounds were usually thirty inches at the shoulder and weighed 90 lbs.
The wolf is the winner.

Wolves are too strong, fast, and ferocious for a person to overcome in the vast majority of cases. They are not merely big dogs. Wolves are apex predators that would make any lone person recoil in fear should they encounter one in the wild.
For centuries, Rottweilers have been bred to be protective and fearless. Once this dog can attack the wolf, it'll go at it with full force. The Rottweiler would likely use its bite force multiple times to inflict the most damage. If the Rottweiler lands a bite on the wolf, it'll be able to inflict a lot of damage.
No. A fully grown, healthy German Shepherd would win against any human but would lose against a wolf. Dogs are originally descended from wolves, but have been bred as pets over centuries, losing much of their natural fighting ability.
Dogs do not usually try and take on lions, and solo, a dog may not be able to kill a full-grown lion. A pack of dogs is another story. However, there is a breed that is often called a 'lion killer'. The breed is the Rhodesian Ridgeback.

A hyena would win a fight against a wolf. The hyena is faster, heavier, and stronger than the wolf, and those are the only two appreciable differences between these creatures. They're both similar in stature and speed, but the fight would be determined by which creature can deal fatal damage.
Polar bears, grizzly bears, black bears, and the Siberian tiger will kill and eat wolves. But it's a rare occurrence. Usually, the kills are competitive rather than predatory.
Wolves generally avoid human interactions, unless they have become habituated to people. Please do your part to keep wolves the way they belong—wild. Keep your distance from wolves. Remain at least 100 yards away when watching or photographing them.
Wolves are also very aggressive toward domestic dogs. Although encounters between a single wolf and a domestic dog sometimes result in play behavior, encounters between several wolves and a dog usually result in the wolves aggressively attacking the dog.
A tiger would easily win a fight against a wolf. The tiger weighs almost three times as much as a wolf, tipping the scale at 600 pounds.
