I base my Gorilla vote on the fact that they can do a karate chop.
I'm staying with grizzly. Claws and carnivore teeth.

I'd like some backround info for the fight as well, since the gorilla is a lot smarter, shouldn't it use this as an advantage? I mean it could get that bear's weak point is its head that can be easily bashed by the gorilla's arms that can literally rip anything a new asshole, and it could climb up to a tree and ambush the bear from above.
Since the bear is pretty stupid, it does not even understand the concept of ambushing, either something runs or fights with him/her.
Gorillas are pretty agile too, I could see it mounting the bear. The bear's only tactic would be to roll around. The gorilla can easily jump off if he sees/feels the ship going down.
The gorilla can even play dead.

The Gorilla would rip the bears lower jaw off if he went to bite him. Just like King Kong did to the T-Rex.

oh my gosh didnt you guys ever see Congo? dumb idiot brain faces.
King Kong anyone? I don't remember there being a movie about a grizzly bear fighting a Trex. Where's that movie? Why wasn't that story told? I hate this place. Where the hell is my ride?

In a boxing ring yes, but if they encountered in the wild, which would never happen, they would have to be right next to each other's babies.
And in that kind of situation they would both get aggressive and leave from the area they met at.
But you got to remember that gorilla's arm is very long and a punch could easily shake a bear down a bit, even though their skull bone is probably inches thick. The gorilla could run backwards and bounce around, but the bear could just jog around or do a full charge.
If you trained em both like Rocky, the gorilla would win easily, since you could train crazy shit to them. Like jumping on a bear's back and using a knife to do some serious shit.

Please note that grizzly bears and gorillas have reputations for ferocity, but these are probably exaggerated. This is especially true for gorillas, which are far more peaceful than the ‘King Kong' image suggests. In fact, chimpanzees are far more dangerous and will kill each other, as well as hunting in groups and tearing monkeys and antelopes apart.
Gorillas live in Africa, while grizzly bears live in North America, so there is no likelihood of them coming into contact with one another in the wild, unless one of them were introduced into the habitat of the other.
They also live in different habitats. Most gorillas inhabit lowland tropical rainforest, but some live in bamboo forest and montane rainforest. The grizzly bear prefers open habitats, such as tundra, alpine meadows and coastlines. This means that a gorilla would not adapt well to the bear's habitat and the bear would not adapt well to the gorilla's habitat.
I think that if they ever came into contact, they would avoid one another. Grizzly bears rarely attack people and prefer to avoid confrontation. A male gorilla will go through various threat displays and will avoid fighting if he can. If anything, I think the gorilla would back down if the bear did not move away and I can't really imagine a bear being put off by a gorilla chest-beating or hooting. A gorilla will usually only attack if an aggressor runs away. It will back down if the aggressor stays where it is. I can't really see the grizzly turning tail.
I think a fight would be very unlikely, but if they were to fight, I believe that the bear holds most of the trump cards. If the gorilla and grizzly are the same size, it would involve a full-grown male gorilla fighting a rather small grizzly bear. This will benefit the gorilla more than if there were two full-grown animals fighting, as the bear would be heavier.
The gorilla is mainly vegetarian and rarely feeds on animal matter, whereas a grizzly can kill a moose with one swipe of its paw. The bear has the advantage here.
The gorilla's ferocity is a bluff to deter potential adversaries. The bear is being genuinely ferocious and has the advantage here, as it is less likely to back down.
Both have powerful canine teeth and use these mainly in threat displays. The bear is more likely to use the canines to bite and kill prey, while gorillas are practically herbivorous. The bear has the advantage here.
Both have powerful upper limbs, but the bear has long claws, whereas the gorilla has nails. Once again, the bear has the advantage to the bear.
The gorilla is more intelligent than the bear, but the gorilla has more facial expressions. Bear keepers say that it is very difficult to read a bear's mind, because of the lack of facial expression. I don't think the gorilla would be able to either, so I don't think the gorilla's intelligence would be much of an advantage here.
Perhaps the only advantage to a gorilla and bear in a one-on-one situation is habitat. The bear would have the advantage in a clearing, but the gorilla would have the advantage if it ran into a rainforest or montane forest and the bear followed. I can't really imagine a bear chasing a gorilla into a forest or other gorillas fighting the bear – I presume you want a one-on-one fight. Chimpanzees can band together to kill leopards, but I haven't heard cases of gorillas doing so.
But, as I stated earlier, I don't think a fight would be likely, especially as one of the animals would be rather disorientated in a strange habitat. It is also unusual for individuals of different species to fight one another. The nearest is when a predator is attacking a prey animal. As bears do not prey on gorillas, this is not a natural phenomenon.
I hope the above scenario does not occur. I don't like the idea of people gaining enjoyment by watching animals fight one another. I hope that your argument is more of a speculative nature, rather than a desire to see animals fighting to the death. Gorillas are becoming increasingly threatened by deforestation and hunting for bush meat and trophies, while various types of grizzly bear are also threatened. The Mexican grizzly bear is extinct, while other varieties have been classified as threatened under the US Endangered Species Act. Having grizzly bears and gorillas fighting one another is not a good idea.
THE GRIZZLY BEAR WILL PROBABLY WIN MOST OF THE TIMES. Yeah, the bear would win; they have been known to kill bulls with one hit of its paw!

A gorilla with human intelligence could win fairly easily, but I think the grizzly is kind of indomitable as far as animal instincts and raw power go. Without weaponry, the gorilla is limited to using blunt trauma to take down the bear... and grizzly bears are built like tanks when it comes to absorbing that kind of punishment.

I don't think people realize just how powerful a grizzly bear is. Under the right circumstances a gorilla has the arm strength to snap a grizzly's neck. They are roughly 6 times stronger than a human male... and if say a human male can bench 400 pounds then that's 2400 pounds of brute strength a gorilla can muster up pressing let along the pounds per square inch it could deliver with it's arms. They are notorious for crushing, ripping, and generally tearing things apart.
Having said that, a grizzly's claw is the size of a human male's chest. One swipe and the gorilla's head would go flying... and easily at that. Kodiak Grizzly's are famous for knocking the heads off bull moose in Alaska.
btw, I grew up in Alaska.

Edit: Duvhaas, you damn traitor!
And according to theories, if they were the same size (600lb gorilla vs. 600lb grizzly) the Gorilla would still win, however the same theory goes on to claim that if a "full grown" gorilla went up against a "full grown" grizzly, it would be a bit different.
I still think Gorillas are awesome.

The reason why I side with the grizzly is because it is far more specialized. The gorilla is strong, but if you ever watch nature videos, they usually charge at 25mph and then slap their victims. This is good for deterring threats, but we're talking about a fight to the death here!
The grizzly has a huge mound of muscle on its shoulders that is designed for digging and head smashing. It also uses its forelegs to sprint at 40mph. It has powerful claws and jaws and an extremely thick, fatty hide.
It wouldn't even be a contest!
