I already tried, but he did not answered. Also, he already published an entire book about all his studies on tigers and even then, he did not published any data on measurements, only the weights and the conclutions that I already showed before.

Please take in count that while Madla surpassed Sauraha in canine length and neck girth, these are the only measurements that we know about him, so we can't guess if the Indian guy was actually bigger than the Nepalese one. Also, and this is very important for all us, the measurements that we know about Sauraha are those taken in 1975, when he bottomed the scale of 500 lb, so I am quite sure that he was bigger in the next captures until 1979, when he constantly bottomed the scale of 600 lb.

It was confirmed that he was indeed weighed using a scale and there was only some undigested food in him, not gorged. 

Who confirmed that if you don't mind? 
Again the verbiage of "approx" is concerning.

Also can you find out the protocol used?
His measurements are fairly normal for a large male except for a shorter shoulder height. He's got good length but short shoulder and a decent chest, so overall he's definitely a good sized male which we all knew but protocol will make a big difference. 
If we were to compare him to Branders and assuming Wagdoh was measured in a straight line, Waghdoh would be shorter in length and shoulder and smaller at the chest. So with all things equal, it's safe to assume Wagdoh was probably a 225-250kg Male when empty.

in his prime wagdoh should be 250kg  or even 270 i would belive , but at old age he looked a lot shurnked , he lost huge amout of bulk, he was visibly a lot smaller in last 2-3 years of his life , could be 210kg too at the time of death or 240kg with content.

I’d agree with that, I’d say closer to the 250kg range though. 
Also what needs to be taken into account is the fact that these dead cats are bloated in the early stages which is noted on the report. That also could exaggerate their girth which deserves to be mentioned as well.

yeah dead body swells , it would increase the weight by 20-30kg , but prime wagdoh see here , chest girth looks larger than p243 or p111 , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqLmMMYIPMQ . Reply
