10.2 inches long and 6.6 inches wide (255.4 and 164.6mm). Compare that to the average skull length and width of 262.7 (10.3'' long) and 175.9mm (6.8 inches wide) for adult male Amazon jaguars. 

Notice, any skull 11.1'' or less is 90kg or less in Jaguars and also understand that a Jaguar is built with much more mass while leopards tend to be slimmer in their build.

This also holds true with Jaguars from the Amazon as well, so needless to say even if Leopards skull size correlated to body weight, none of the ones measured would be over the 100kg mark and obviously they'll be less than comparable Jaguars regardless since they aren't built with the same lb per sq inch as the Jaguar is. 
Realistically they'd be in the 60-80kg  but again, I don't know what the exact correlation of skull size to leopard size is, I haven't done enough research on that topic.

 The shape and size of the head is very different between the two cats. Due to the different styles of killing the jaguar has a much broader forehead and wider jaw.

Jaguars have a large barrel like abdomen. It almost always looks as if they are pregnant or well fed. Leopards, on the other hand, often have a very slight build. Jaguars have a shorter, stockier, build then the leopard.
