I was and am talking about overall size and weight. And I don´t see there major differences between captive and wild. Biggest individuals look like to be quite same sized and weights are also close to each others when animals look fit.

Overall size, Wild cats are far more impressive. They're way more muscle dense, body frame is similar although Tigers were significantly larger in frame and robustness, Wild Lions are also larger in frame and robustness but I've seen a Taller cat in captivity than I have in the wild, but that was a S. African Lion compared to a E. African wild Lion. 
But in terms of impressive specimens, I've never seen anything close in captivity that compares to their wild counterparts, that goes for smaller cats as well. 

You dont see cats like these in captivity for the most part.
