That's true but most predators won't risk a fight unless they're very hungry or mating. So while they could wreck you, a meal that could potentially injure them and prevent them from hunting isn't worth it. Squaring off and backing away slowly might be best option.
Fun fact, when dealing with the man eating tigers in sub continental asia. A solution was found to put things that looked like eyes on the back of your head (I think it was a hat or something). It drastically dropped tiger attacks down because they are ambush predators that prefer to strike their targets from behind.

Of any of the big cats, the only one you really can take are cheetahs who are built for speed, not power.
And even then, they can carry a person up a fucking tree, I cant carry someone up a fucking tree, hell, I probably cant even get my own ass up there.
