Oh sick burn
First, put your image in a spoiler. Second, Nuh-uh.
And to venture another point, I think that a Grizzly would beat the Polar Bear. Both are able swimmers, but the grizzly is simply more agile and powerful. The polar bear sacrifices pure killing power for survivability in the environment, but on an even playing field the tree-eating, mountain-kicking, god-slaying Grizzly Bear would take the polar one hands down.
I would like to put forward, shall we say, an upgrade on your standard grizzly, the Kodiak Bear, its larger cousin, which actually equals the polar in size and shares its title as largest land predator. Given, I would say, the same size, strength, and fighting skill, the battle would be determined by home court advantage. Polar bears overheat easy in what most of us would consider cool weather, about 50 degrees F. On the other hand, they are excellent on ice and such adept swimmers that scientists have argued that they should be classified as aquatic mammals. They can even close their nostrils underwater, like seals do. Given the likelihood of the fight ending up in the near-freezing water of the arctic ocean at some point, polar bears take the day.
I, however, am inclined to think the insect world could take the day, given the chance, if only by the insidious means of the parasite. It's lucky for polar bears there is no such thing as a Bot Fly [http://www.cracked.com/article_15816_5-most-horrifying-bugs-in-world.html] for bears, because they sneak eggs into your system and then eat you from the inside when they hatch. But in a battle (of sorts) between a polar bear and the trichinella worm [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichinella_spiralis] (which they contract from infected seals) the worm rarely comes out the loser.
