I have a data about a 158 kg serengeti male Lion who had a chest Grith of 122cm. Pound for pound this is even more than the 172 kg Tuger with a chest girth of 130cm from Brander.

Source comes from craig Packer. Its reliable though....

The weight is an estimate based off of Chest girth and im not sure how you came to a conclusion that it somehow has a larger girth "lb for lb" when they are 14kg apart in weight and 8cm apart in chest girth. 
You'd have to first correlate chest girth to weight then figure out how much additional chest girth needs to be added to increase the weight and by what %.
Lastly is that you'd need to find a large enough sample size to compare.
