I wondered if his patrolling territory is adjacent to the kambula boys k1, k2 and their partner.

No, they are too far away.

There are no other rival coalitions near Nkhulus atm, so i dont think he was caught again, he prob got a beating by his younger partners over females.

Top 5 biggest males Neil Jennings have seen:

Pretty cool, these seems to be the names that usually pop up. He says he doesn't think PCM are as big as their fathers.

And while comparing males without being side by side is very difficult ( I've seen a photographer claim Blondie & Mohawk were larger than PCM, and a ranger say Mohawk was equal to S8, as well as another ranger saying Nhenha was equal to PCM and just slightly bigger than the larger Ndhzenga, which for me all sseems very wrong ), but I'd be surprised if these males were weighed and the Leeubrons weren't up there fighting for the number 1 spot, though I also see some others up there like Tank & Splitnose Gomondwane, or HB.

This topic is always well discussed here, I think it is almost impossible to make a real list of this because they are not close, the point of view of someone who saw them in person is a good point but this is relative, even a robust, well-fed lion can Looking big and small on an empty stomach, body mass and mane can interfere with size perception, even more so without a ruler measuring the exact difference in size in flat places. I respect this list, they are admittedly large males but their difference from others should not be so different.
