On base on single photo? That is not enough. This with photos is there there always can be crooked perspective. I remember for example one in which BIg Boy Charleston was looking literally twice the size of his brother lol.

As @Potato said, this photo was taken on akward angle, and lioness is few meters away of him.. 
Young Jocks are quite impressive males, not the biggest around, but definitely not small either..

Its hard to tell for sure because of low quality picture, but i think this is Talamati/Southern males.. They are somewhere in that area around Charlestons territory..

Mpondos on the move.
Nothing makes your heart tick quite like a big lion on a mission, coming straight at you!
This was the last morning before the park closed for lockdown and we had all 5 males near Biyamiti Bridge at sunrise.

They are made of 3 coalitions (1+2+2), oldest one is believed to be 12- 13 yrs old, he is sort of their Makhulu, while others are 9-10.

Here is article of them :

Very nice photo ! By seeing it, I believe it's impossible to see in wild a male lion's face without scars. Scars which reconstitute its exploits and "feats of arms", in short its past of warrior.
