@Sully
I've seen examples of both but the tallest Lion I've ever seen was a White Lion while the heaviest Lion I've seen was a Tawny Lion. 
BJWT seems to show the same variance as well, Ali is a very Tall Lion while Han and Jimbo both weigh more.

For Tigers that I've seen in captivity, standard colored have been the largest of either category. But I've never seen a pure bred Tiger in captivity outside of Sumatrans, only in the wild. But wild Tigers are much larger than their captive counterparts, at least feom what I've seen.

Lions in the wild seem Taller than the captives I've seen as well other than that exceptional white lion male I saw but they were from E. Africa, not S. Africa where all white Lions come from.
