Megaraptor namunhuaiquii
Megaraptor was initially described as a giant dromaeosaur, known primarily from a single claw (about 1 ft/0.30 m long) that resembled the sickle-shaped foot claw of dromaeosaurids. The discovery of a complete front limb, however, showed that this giant claw actually came from the first finger of the hand. The hands were unusually elongated, bearing sickle-shaped claws even more recurved than those of spinosaurids. The hand is quite distinct from other basal tetanurans, so it was not initially clear whether Megaraptor was an allosaurid, a carcharodontosaurid, a spinosauroid, or something else entirely. Subsequent studies, as well as the identification of close relatives with similar large claws on the forelimbs (see below), have helped identify Megaraptor as a highly advanced and lightly-built allosauroid, and a member of the family Neovenatoridae.

I read here that Megaraptor reached about 26 feet and weighed 1-2 tons. I don't know if it's a reliable source though.

Majungasaurus crenatissimus
Majungasaurus (pronounced /məˌdʒʌŋɡəˈsɔrəs/ mah-JUNG-gə-SOR-əs "Mahajanga lizard") is a genus of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in Madagascar from 70 to 65 million years ago, at the end of the Cretaceous Period. Only one species (M. crenatissimus) has been identified. This dinosaur was briefly called Majungatholus, a name which is now considered a junior synonym of Majungasaurus. Like other abelisaurids, Majungasaurus was a bipedal predator with a short snout. Although the forelimbs are not completely known, they were very short, while the hindlimbs were longer and very stocky. It can be distinguished from other abelisaurids by its wider skull, the very rough texture and thickened bone on the top of its snout, and the single rounded horn on the roof of its skull, which was originally mistaken for the dome of a pachycephalosaur. It also had more teeth in both upper and lower jaws than most abelisaurids. Majungasaurus was a medium-sized theropod that typically measured 6–7 meters (20–23 ft) in length, including its tail. Fragmentary remains of larger individuals indicate that some adults reached lengths of more than 8 meters (26 ft). Scientists estimate that an adult Majungasaurus weighed around 1,875 lbs. (850 kilograms).

I think Megaraptor would win too. It has better weapons such as it's claws which are really big.

Abeliasaurids are more powerful than allosaurids

Megaraptors toe claw could slash out any vital organs while it is biting with its more powerful jaws. I saw a youtube video of a megaraptor mauling a t-rex, majungasaurus is much smaller and weaker than t-rex so it would get mauled by megaraptor, I would have posted the youtube video but I don't know how to.

Megaraptor has an enormous claw on it's hand(not on it's toe!!!), but Majungasaurus likely has a more powerful bite

55/45 in favor of Megaraptor

That video is bullshit, Tyrannosaurus rex would easily demolish Megaraptor, really, a ~4-8-tonne theropod vs a ~1 tonne one? Tyrannosaurus would crush Megaraptor even if it's jaws are rendered unusable beforehand due to an Alamosaurus kick.

I once saw a video on youtube of a Lion fighting a Tiger.
It was pretty bloody.
And when it was all over.......

Well they sat down at a table with a cup of tea and
licked their wounds and made up.

I almost shed a tear..

Megaraptor hands down. It's bigger, has better weaponry with a deadlier bite.

Majungsaurus was more robust and had stronger bite, but look at short legs.

It was centairly slow that would its big disadvantage. Megaraptor would be far faster than it. Another advantages would be height (longer legs), big arms with claws.

Megaraptor would be winner.

I doubt it. I tried searching up Megaraptor vs T.rex on Youtube and there were no pivot fights answering
But maybe this was the vid, from the video game Warpath: Jurassic Park

That game rather calls it a Megaraptor, although it is actually an allosaurid
