As far as I know Junior was born in early 2012 so when he came head to head with Birmingham male he was about 3 years and 3 months old so same age as Nkuhuma male is now.

"How do you know that NK boy is not that big? Based on what sighting? Last sighting of him with lionesses and Big Boy was 3 months ago, and he was bigger then Big Boy and waay bigger then Amber Eyes, the biggest NK lioness, and now Safari crew said that he is even more bigger. "

Judging him through the prism of other lions. He is a bit bigger than lionessess from Nkuhma pride so not bigger than random male lion of his age. Just compare him with for example Othawa male at his age (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqCeLQouSlE). That is how big lion for his age look like. Way bigger than lionessess from his pride.

"We havent see him with Avocas for half a year to compare the size, but now im quite sure he is big as Mohawk in the hips, maybe even bigger, ofc he doesnt have that much weight, but thats normal for his age."

I highly doubt it. When then have meet last time difference between them was huge.

As far as i know, the Bboys came in contact with Nkuhuma pride in mid-late 2015.

In this video Junior is more then 3 and a half years old, and those are still young Bboys. 

You see him with other lionesess 3/4 months ago, and then he was much bigger then them, on this sighting few days ago you cant compare because others where lying down, with Avocas he wasnt been seen for more then half a year, so ofc that then size diffrence was huge. You cant judge him now based on pics from few moths to a half a year ago. 

Nguvu is exception, not many lions are that big in those years,and thats not because of his genetics, yet because he was in smaller pride with greater food suply with no dominant males to chase him out early on, Junior Othawa is and will be big as Nguvu at that age.

Im not saying that NK boy is bigger then random lions of his age, im saying that he is big and strong lion, thats it (mane can contribute to lion look bigger, if he had mane im quite sure he would look bigger in many eyes). Reply
