Well... guide look at lions through the prism of other lions the know and have seen so it is normal that from one guide some lion individual will be big and for other guide same lion might not look as impressive as he has seen even significantly bigger individual(s). Also Mala Mala ragners at Mala Mala live mentioned while talking about lion size that it is difficult to judge ions and leopards size as their shape changes so dynamicly depending of how much they eat at the direct peroid of time at you can see some individual at and point and think "wow, he is so big" and you can see same individual another time and you might think "he is not that big". That is why I always value opinions of guides which worked with direct lions for longer peroid of time over opinions of guides and photographers which seen direct lions like one or twice. Reply
