What is bigger Polar bear or Kodiac bear?

There is some dispute as to what the biggest bear really is. Does anyone have a definative answer? A polar bear is a carnivore so must be the biggest land carnivore but a Kodiac bear is an omnivore so could be the biggest bear?

2. Kodiak
3. Kodiak bears are larger and they have been known to eat meat.
4. They are about the same size.
5. The Polar bear shares the title of the largest extant species of land carnivore with the larger subspecies of its close relative the Brown Bear. A male Polar Bear can be 4 times the weight of a Siberian tiger. Most adult males weigh from 300 to 600 kg (660 to 1300 lb) and measure 2.4 to 2.6 m (95 to 102 in) in length. The largest polar bear ever on record was a bear shot in Kotzebue Sound, Alaska in 1960. [4] This colossus weighed 1002 kg (2,210 pounds) and, mounted, it was 3.38 m (11 ft 11 in) tall. The Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) is a species of bear that can reach masses of 130–700kg (290-1,550 pounds). Alongside the Polar Bear, the larger races of brown bear qualify as the largest extant land carnivores. The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), the Kodiak bear, and the Mexican brown bear are North American subspecies of the Brown Bear. The Kodiak Bear (Ursus arctos middendoriffi), or Alaskan Brown Bear, is a subspecies of the Brown Bear. The Kodiak Bear lives in southern Alaska, and is endangered. Kodiak Bears can grow to be 10.5 feet long and can weigh over 1,500 lbs, and can eat just about anything in Alaska. So according to all that information, both bear species share the title of largest land carnivore.....
6. Back in the 1940's or 1950's scientists went to the arctic and weighed a bunch of bears and concluded a male polar bear adult weighs 880 to 1,320 pounds on average. But polar bears have lost about 15% weight reduction in the past 20 years or so due to lack of food. The average male Kodiak bear adult weighs 660 pounds though unusually large Kodiaks weigh 1,500 with 1,600 being a world record that has never been broken in 50 years. The heaviest polar bear ever was shot in the 1960's and weighed 1,960 pounds.
