As for more impressive males, all I have to do is pick some males who inhabit the equatorial forests in Central Africa or some Persian males. You know, since they're the biggest subspecies.

Now if you want to discuss with me any further, I suggest you PM me for the sake of this thread. 

@Pckts No they're just bigger than most leopard subspecies. Male leopards in Botswana average 70kg for example.

What Botswana weights are you going off of?
Also, even at 70kg they'd still be smaller than Pantanal females average. And no disagreements here, Persian most likely are the largest Leopard sub species while there is no proof of equatorial Leopards being categorized there, so any claim is without facts.

The males in the Tuli Predator Project averaged 70.3kg to be more precisely. And of course that's still smaller, but it's closer than some South African males averaging 60kg.

We can only speculate yes, but based on skull measurements and camer traps I'm convinced these are the top of all leopards. Literally every single male I've seen from either Congo, Gabon, Cameroon is impressive. That's no coincidence. Reply
