Sadly cheetahs are sometimes victims of trophy hunting. This cheetah was weighed at 58 kg.

Body mass and dimensions of a female cheetah (unknown if wild or captive); source is unknown but it was posted in "Animal Untamed" a decade ago, please inform me the source if any of you users know it, thanks.

Your comparison are quite nice and I have inserted all of them except one into the original post (the one I did not insert because I am not sure if that is the correct figure you wanted there). Photos have to be uploaded via the little "i" icon to show properly. 

Very nice comparisons! Reply

Thank you for the compliments and fixing problem! I'll use the i button next time; apologies for the inconvenience. Reply

Here is how a cheetah compares to a Bengal tiger in terms of size. Many size-comparisons between bengal tigers and russell's spotted cats exist therefore I thought I'd do one with cheetahs.
