In terms of sheer resilience, adaptability to their environment, stealth, agility and merkage factor, my vote goes to the leopard.

If we're talking a "Round 1. FIGHT!" type scenario then probably not. Maybe one of those super venomous snakes etc.

Could an inland taipan's fangs penetrate a [animal with thick hide, pick one] before it got squashed though? Also, there is no recorded information on an inland taipan vs an elephant. Venom affects different creatures in different ways, a funnel web spider can get a human but it's bite has no effect on a cat, for example.

Polar Bear could mash up a Crocodile or Tiger

Polar bear is a good shout actually!

Polar bear's only real weakness is it's lack of speed versus big cats. I'm also not quite sure if it would be able to breach the hide of an elephant or rhino effectively but I still think in both terms of ability to defend and ability to attack the polar bear is the best all rounder. The mario of the animal kingdom.

Good point but animals with thick hides (usually/always) have shit eyesight. Would they be able to see the venomous creature to squash it?

But yeah, are we talking a one-on-one single fight or a protracted conflict?

Law of averages would suggest that if a rhino/elephant were in an arena with a snake long enough, snake would get squashed.
