Perfect example of why “over the curves” is less reliable.

By judging the size, it does fit that of a lioness.
The lower canine being less than 8 cm usually belongs to that of a lioness.

The canines arent "maxed out" if you look closely. Must be 9cm if straightened.

Its size is still quite staggering, and it should be about the same size to that of the largest Cave bears.

The SF bear got very big cat like canine teeth, where the root is less embedded, but its crown is much longer for piercing deeper into its prey.

Would agree with most part except the cattle killer thing, that´s a baseless argument.
For all I know, that lion was a well reputed cattle killer.

No idea,
I’m just speaking on the Serengeti/Crater.
I’m sure he was definitely bulked up on cattle. You see that with most cattle killers, generally they have more of a soft appearance from the easy kills. Also his skull is large but not the top tier which again leads me to believe he was probably a bit overweight. But regardless he was a massive lion, no doubt about it.

Note the skull was one of the biggest. A small look at the skull should be enough to understand that it was pretty robust. For a east african lions 387mm is really long and 267mm is equal to the RECORD width for wild lions. But his skull overall is extremely broad. The skeleton of that lion was also pretty long and really robust according to the guys who observed the skeleton. The lion had a total length of 300+ cm looking at the answer from Richard Kock to the user Waveriders.
Even with good amount of food..... no one reached 272 kg. For such a weight good genetics are a must have and especially body size. Also lions in that weight category are nearly always overweights except some really long individuals
