Stegosaurus wins, Megatherium didn't have the weapons or speed needed to take down Steg. 7.5 meter steg and 6 meter Megatherium.  What stegosaurus species is that? S. stenops? I thought stenops didn't surpass 7 m. |

Are you talking of a hypothetical 7.5 m S. stenops, or is there some data on it's size I am not aware of?

Well then, stegosaurus armatus should definitely win imo, i would even back s. stenops at max sizes.

Megatherium. It can resist the stegosaurs tail swipe and slash with its claws; it takes this.

I think Megatherium wins most of the time, but it will suffer heavy injuries.

I favor Stegosaurus, for the above reason. Its thagomizer will help it out here.

I back stegosaurus here , it is larger , heavier and his it’s tail as a weapon , I cannot see the sloth getting past that without getting whipped by the tail .

I might even go so far to make the call for or even full-on mismatch, as the size disparity is very large. Megatherium seems to be about 3.7 tons (https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsos.150302), while Stegosaurus is almost twice that size, at 6-8 tons (http://theworldofanimals.proboards.com/thread/1089/stegosaurid-size). Even at parity, I'd favor Stegosaurus by a decent margin due to more range and a more damaging weapon, so IMO it just about has this locked up. |
