    What training do they have? Do they have any weapons? Is either fighting on home ground? What's the weather like? Has either been altered by science to have it's brain implanted in a 200 foot tall robot? We need details before answers can be found.

    The hippo has the advantage of being waterborne and being able to dodge a charging rhino by diving. It's totally at home in the water.

    It also has gigantic sharp teeth and kills more humans than lions in Africa every year. They can be vicious when territorial. Have a fairly thick hide as well, so might even be able to withstand a puck from the rhino, though not a charge on open ground.

    I've thought about this too much.

    .
    I think we must decide on a fair neutral ground for this fight because the hippo being waterborne and the rhino being landborne each would have the advantage in their own turf. I think a bog of some sort would suffice as a neutral ground

    I think its only fair that the referee should also be an animal but which one would be the fairest judge?

    Probably some sort of bird so they could observe the fight from the air, or else an elephant to seperate the two of them in case the fight gets dirty

    The Siberian Tiger is king of all cats. The Males can reach 50 stone weight and are known to hunt bears in the wilds of Siberia. Beautiful animal but a deadly killer.

    We know the outcomes for some animal battles. Lion is generally beaten by bears and gorillas generally beat aggressive dogs that were sent after them.

    Interesting one, the Killer Whale is bigger and they are known to be particularly vicious in combat, although they usually hunt in pods. I think I've heard that a shark will retreat from a bigger opponent.
