Again, visual estimates can be way off. Just because you estimate it to not be close to be over 80 kg it doesn't mean it was not. Remember the persian leopard you said it looked nothing close to 100 kg (as 95 kg is close to 100 kg) while it actually WAS that large. So you should also be very Descartes-like when making estimates. Like still having some doubts because you know, visual estimates are tricky. 

I will always use Mawenzi 83 kg as example because he's literally the perfect example for comparing male leopards. 
Mawenzi is massive but has also a nice sized belly fold, without it this is his real physique. 
He's rather lean and athletic to be a only 7 kgs far from 90 kgs right?

But still. He's a confirmed 80+ kg male

Now, we know that Vin diesel was allegedly "weighed when they removed its collar. Let's see how it looked in its prime

Now he DOES look comparable to 83 kg Mawenzi, at least to me. In some images, he also seems to be more massive especially the first ones. I'd say it's safe to estimate him at 80+ kg. Now you're free to estimate him the way you want. But you can't deny that he DOES compare to Mawenzi. Who is also pretty lean but still well over the average leopard.

FYI, Vin Diesel was collared :
As far as I know, that's a collar

. And he looks pretty massive here aswell^
Mawenzi tier. 


About the messages I was just referring to this your old post. Where did you get this info? And yes he was collared as I already said, there is literally his image of him walking close to a road with the collar being clearly visible so it's likely that he was first weighed when they added the collar and then when they removed it. Of course it's still not verified but it COULD be likely.
