At parity, edge to the wolf due to better killing method
Average, 60/40 for hyena due to size

^Hyenas aren't canines, I believe. Closer to felids.

That is right. The spotted hyenas are more related to cats than to dogs yet they lack the grappling ability of most of the big cat family save the cheetah.

prehistoric-fauna.com/Crocuta-crocuta-spelaea The cave hyena (Crocuta crocuta spelaea) is an extinct subspecies of spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) native to Eurasia, ranging from northern China to Spain and into the British Isles. This face-off is not so hypothetical.  Edit and add: twilightbeasts.org/2014/05/02/clan-of-the-cave-hyena/ They suddenly became extinct in Britain around 30,000 years ago, and soon after in the rest of western Europe. It is likely that changing climate and changing vegetation had an effect on populations. Around 30,000 years ago the climate was colder and the prey species were becoming isolated in refugia. With the colder climate and less herbivores, these great beasts would have had more competition from wolves and even lions.

I do believe CAVE hyena vs 1-2 wolves would be sympatric. This refers to African spotted hyenas, which wouldn't be sympatric unless we used an African subspecies of grey wolf.

I see the hyena as actually winning against the wolf, due to bigger size and jaws.
