OK Phil, I'll take a stab in the dark, purely my humble opinion. I kind of hesitate on this w/o having experience, so my thoughts could change in a hurry depending on what I was getting experience on!

1. Leopard: Cats are quiet and think like predators, same as man. May not get the most kills but sure gets the jump on you.

2. Lion: I dunno, guess I got a thing for large predatory cats. Least they most times give you a grunt warning before jumping on you. Definitely acquires a taste for man.

3. Elephant: Amazing for their size how they can rumble right over you. Lot of weight with two spears up front for poking large holes in things.

4. Cape Buffalo: They're just not scared of anything. Least they don't have canines and claws.

5. Hippo: I dunno, guess I ranked him last because I'd hope to have a bit of distance and be able to spot him before he spotted me.

In my experiences, it's always who spots who first has the upper hand. Predators always have better eyes, so they'd be harder to get the upper hand on. On a final note, any of these animals could be changed to number 1 in my book mighty easily. There's a lot of variables to consider also, terrain, wounded?, etc. Anyway, that's my guess.
