Completely agree with you - up to 3 meters. I guess the weights of these reptilia according their length should be:
- 2 meters long crocodile - around 80-90 kg
- 3 meters long - around 200-250 kg
- 4 m - 500-800 kg
- 5 m - up to 1 ton
- 6 m - up to 1,5 tons
As we can see in comparisons with large crocodiles jaguar is just a "shrimp"...  
Here is also important to point out what specie of crocodiles we mean. Typical crocodiles are much more aggressive and dangerous than the caimans and the aligators. The tree most aggressive species as long as I know are:
1.) Salt water crocodile 
2.) Nile crocodile
3.) Black caiman
Both tree a equally deadly dangerous for men when hungry, while salt water guy is aggressive even when its not hungry because the male is highly territorial and could attack you only because you entered his territory. That's way Salt water crocodile is not only the largest reptilia in the planet but also the most aggressive and dangerous of all crocodiles. From this tree only Black caiman inhabit the areal of the jaguar. Sanjay asked how big crocodile can be killed by jaguar but for me even more interesting is the opposite question - how big should be the black caiman in order to hunt and kill a jaguar inside the water? I think that any Black caiman 4 meters or more is deadly dangerous for the cat. Infourtunately this specie lives in so remote and inhabited areas that this is almost no documentary on the topic. @epaiva do you know any info in Spanish web concerning jaguar-black caiman relations?
