While a below 200kg tiger is considered sub-par, most non-dominant males never cross 225kgs/500lbs. As i had presented in my post where I suggested you the links, T24 aka USTAD of Ranthambore was weighed 240kgs..MATKASUR, SATURN seems to be of similar size at best.  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author A close family-friend of mine saw both BAMERA & T25, USTAD's brother of similar stature, from similar distance...he stated BAMERA to be "similarly-sized but bulkier", so 250kg maybe..Also, "T42 aka FATEH & T28 are Ranth's largest, probably larger but visibly leaner than him" (Quoted remarks are his opinion & while I myself trust them, others are free to agree to disagree)..  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author MADLA bottomed a 2.5quintal scale, so, he was probably about 260kgs, Corbett's KHALI looks equaly tall & muscular...  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author SAURAHA was 270kgs+ confirmed & some those TERAI/ASSAM MALES, Nagarjun-Sagar's T1 might be of that level...  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author To cross the 300kgs mark, I believe muscle-mass ain't enough, the tiger will have to be big & bulky as well as blubbery..Atleast on the borderline of being obese, WAGDOH & KZT-083 might have had it in them during their prime!!!  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author (You do understand that 10-15 kg are nothing to a tiger, they can gain/lose that much weight in a week!!!..)
Hey, @
Lions...  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author Now, tigers...  *This image is copyright of its original author  *This image is copyright of its original author These are the records that were deemed worthy of making their way into the books, while thousands of normal ones have been lost. Also, some are more of wishful assumptions, than accurate measurements... Think, is it possible that Mazak took a took a 400kg scale with him deep in the mountains & managed to weigh such a beast without any mechanical help??!!! 
Next tiger census in India starts on early 2018 & results are to be released by year end...

What if a coalition of large male tigers, after a long day walk resting in a water hole together. What would they look like? well.. perhaps something like this

PHATIO
Apparently, it did happen. Not in India, but in China. I don't know if prime males were involved, but everything I found points in that direction. I'm trying to sort it out. When done, I'll post about it in the tiger extinction thread.  
Rajah in his prime...
