I'm sorry to keep posting but I think these images are great use of determing how large that leopard really is. A leopard at 90kg will be massive, 115kg would be a monster. I just still have such a hard time believing that a severly injured leopard reached such a huge weight while having normal body length and not looking particularly robust.
 
What I see in my eyes is this:
The leopard is more robust than the tiger but the tiger will be taller and longer and the tigers limbs are more robust than the leopards and the leopard is missing a paw as well.
It would be impossible for that leopard to be larger than the tiger I think.
