Agreed. Pause the video @ 0:08 and check out his length, even while walking at an angle he still easily engulfs the entire road!
Since Siddharth Singh started sharing individual Cats from Dudhwa I've been mesmerized. IMO, I'm ranking Dudhwa Males ahead of even Kaziranga Males. They just look to be larger in frame, maybe their heads aren't as large but that could be a couple of reasons, one is that they just have smaller Skulls but the other could be that their bodies are just so massive that their heads just don't look at large.

Yes they deffinantly look the biggest! 
The Kaziranga tigers are big too, but I feel they have a big skull, but not all the males look gigantic ulike Nepal tigers where almost all the males look massive! 
That male in the first video too the girth arround the wrist is so thick! they almost make Tarzan, Bheem and Umarpani look like kittens ?

Speaking of Kazi Tigers, I've got a few below to compare...




































A rare shot of Khali from Tadoba, if it is him I believe this is the male who defeated Wagdoh and made him retreat into the Buffer Zone, right @Roflcopters  and @Rage2277 ?

I know videos or photos can be deceiving but still, you can clearly notice how big the males are. And anyone who doubts that stories of Adult Rhinos being killed by Tigers in Dudhwa aren't to be trusted, they should check out these guys. 

Absolutely massive males. If I am not wrong then the record 387 Kg specimen (The record holder tiger from 1967) was also from this part of India.

@Pckts 

that is Khali indeed, going 5 years strong now as a dominant male and controls majority of the bufferzone along side Moh. not very far from his territory, Wagdoh’s two sons (Shankar and Bhola) control Padmapur buffer and areas outside of the park. Khali is also rumored to be one of Coal Mine male’s son. a very legendary male that ruled all of Junona buffer, Dewada buffer and Agarzari (outskirts) all the way to the coal mines for nearly a decade.

interesting debate about Dudhwa tigers vs Kaziranga tigers, honestly the 180kg female and the 340kg male easily would change anyones perspective. I still think it’s the Kaziranga males for me at maximum size. just based on pictures alone. in fact KZT110, KZT023 and KZT083 were probably some of the biggest males i ever saw. 

here’s top 3 from each side, starting off with Dudhwa.

The two first Kaziranga tigers are photo traps which can be very "kind" with animals. And if you look at the hips of KZT023 compared to the Terrai males, too me he looks slender in comparison! 
The male form Katarnigahat is also a camer trap, but could just as well be a normal photograph. The males from Terrai seems bigger at least to me!
