Tiger Size

Largest Amur tiger- 254 kilograms is equal to 559.97 pounds and largest Bengal tiger- 272 kilograms is equal to 599.66 pounds. While tiger fans continue to talk about 700 pound tigers, we have no confirmed account of a 600 pound tiger. However, as 599.66 pounds is close enough, I will claim 600 pounds or 272 kilograms as the max size for a tiger.  
 
*Note: 500 pound tigers are quite uncommon.

Note: Smallest tiger and smallest brown bear are probably very close to weight-parity. If we were to compare the biggest tiger to the biggest brown bear, the bear is well over double the tigers' weight.
