There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Alright I've found the calculations of 110's weight and here goes:

It all starts with Madla. He was weighed in at 250kgs. Is it correct? NO. Many people who knew him say he was definitely 300-325kgs. Yes that is true.
The famous Nepal male tiger Sauhara Male weighed by Dr.Mel Sunquist 261-272kgs on "an empty stomach." He was 310cms in total length (10"2'). His tail alone measured 113cms, his head body length from tip of nose to the base of tail was around 197cms. Here is a look at how madla appears infront of sauhara male tiger, he definitely appears to be 20cms longer than Sauhara male tiger. So, a head body length no less than 7 feet.

Even considering Dr.Raghu Chundawat to be around 5 1/2 feet or slightly more, he is definitely 1 1/2 longer than Dr.Raghu Chundawat. So, 7feet head body length is the truth, meaning he has 20cms over Sauhara and seemingly taller than him too.
 Now, coming to the body size or heaviness. He has uniformly plain larger body from the chest to abdominal regions just as Sauhara male. So, only the chest girth, neck girths matter.
Sauhara male tiger had 80cms neck girth, 140cms chest girth, where as Madla had 90cms neck girth and 160cms chest girth. 20cms extra chest girth and 10cms neck girth difference definitely adds around 50-70kgs in case of tigers. So, Madla is (261/272kgs+50-70kgs). So, madla seems to be around 310-330kgs. Let us assume 300-320kgs.

Then we compare Malda with 110. This giant tiger tag named KZT 110 is considered by many experts to be the largest Bengal tiger ever captured in camera till date. Longer, taller, robust, heavy and compact body with tightly packed muscles, massive forearms, deeper and massive chest girth makes this tiger some of the most massive wild tigers ever. It definitely appears to have 5-15cms chest girth(i.e. 180-195cms) over this massive tiger. 
How big he can be? What could be the difference between Madla and that KZT 110? Here is another picture of Madla and KZT 110,
Appears to be easily around 60kgs(minimum) or more difference. This tiger would have definitely been a record breaker if he was weighed at that time.

So to do the math, 320+60=380kg. There we have 110's weight.

Obviously this is not all accurate but from what we have that is the conclusion that can be made.

This is not my personal verdict, just from what I read.
