I would guess Othawas would be most impressive, even more impressive than Talamatis. Sad that they went off the radar.  Then there are Talamatis and largest of the Nkuchuma males, all looking very tall, powehouses in the making. On top of that Dwihla looked quite mean with this cold stare and dark mane. Iguess he would become quite faisty lion.

I think he deserves more credit for that. You placed K4 over him. Do you think K4 would be able, being at the same age Talamati male was at a time of mentioned alteraction to dominate stronger of the two BD males like Talamati did? Personally I do not. Even current, prime K4 up against Black Dam still would be very unclear on which male would be stronger and I personally would bet Black Dam would dominate Kambula, not the other way around. Reply
