If you are looking for the exceptional ones, you have the enormous male from Rajaji, hairyfoot from Panna, Kaziranga male shifted to Manas, A few other Kaziranga males like Kzt 085, kzt 083, kzt 023 and couple of really big ones from Terai. Pictures of all the above mentioned males are available on wildfact itself.

Im pretty sure that Waghdoh hasnt gained his reputation for nothing. Its true that we have no weight information, but he is big otherwise why would people say he is big?

And same goes for KAZI-59
Here he can be seen hunting cows - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH7jB1Ky9sk

Just as big as KTZ-085 here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOtSnxrwcKc

Please don't share same link multiple times... And not only they were at different distances from their respective preys, unless we can confirm those cows where of same size we can't compare fairly, can we?

Wagdoh is(was) actually very stocky & stout. People who have seen many tigers that can compare him to other famous males, have told that he's big but not as big as many of his peers.
And recently we got a photo of him crossing railway line, by which his body length measured out to be less than 6ft (I think it's in this thread only).

What do you suggest for Waghdoh's weight? I would say 520-550lbs Reply
