A Smilodon in theory is pretty big and it had to be tough to survive the ice age. Wolves need cunning, and they don't need to be brawny because they aren't attacking megafauna on a daily basis. However, Smilodon needed to be tough as it attacked wooly mammoths and other large animals. Technically and obviously Smilodon would be tougher and have more durability.
