Well, they would kill the Mexican gray wolves as there are a few small packs of this endangered sub-specie in the wild.

But I am willling to bet a large pack of mexican gray wolves could chase of a female jaguar

Obviously a pack of 10 Mexican wolves would chase away any jaguar, but it's less likely to happen, since Mexican grey wolves are too rare on the wild.

That is dependent on the environment; i.e. prey availability, landscape (open vs closed), scale and so on. That's what I think anyway. You can't know beforehand if they will. That and they will co-evolve, just not only on a genetic level but also on a behavioural level. It could happen that at first one of them will show decline. Frequency dependent selection and so on. Again, I'm doing this from cognitive instinct, so I could be wrong of course; just stating what I feel and think.
