The three biggest carcharodontosaurids, Mapusaurus, Carcharodontosaurus and Giganotosaurus face off. All are 14 meters (46 feet) from known specimens. Giganotosaurus has the biggest skull by a few inches (actually, the Mapusaurus known from a pubis would) and the strongest build, Carcharodontosaurus is marginally the tallest with the biggest teeth, Mapusaurus is the fastest and most evolved. Each has an advantage, so who wins?

Hard to say. They all have advantages. If its a three way, I think Mapu because Giga and Carchar would go for each other, and Mapu could attack the one of its choice. Then it would just be the survivor vs Mapu, and it could take out the survivor easily (likely) after the wounds it attained from the other one. In a 1vs1 tournament, I'd say Carchar.

Where did you get Carcharadontosaurus being 46 feet. 42-3 feet max is what I think. Include what DinoFights sister found and you get a Giganotosaurus/unknown species that is 50 feet long. Going by what you say though, I'd say Giganotosaurus. It was the heaviest build and had the biggest head.

I have their sizes broken up like this... Giganotosaurus- 40-46 ft long and 6-8 tons Carcharodontosaurus- 35-40 ft long and 5-6.5 tons Mapusaurus- 30-36 ft long and 3-4 tons I'd say Giganotosaurus

Whoa, where'd you get such a tiny Mapusaurus estimate from? And @Deltadromeus the SGM DIN1 specimen has a skull nearly Gigantosaurus sized based on a 6 foot skull from fragments. At the very least Carcharodontosaurus is 41 feet and that's as valid as a 50 foot Spinosaurus from MSNM V4046, which is 56 feet or more.

Makeveli, Planet Dinosaur states Mapusaurus was 10 meters and so does Wikipedia. Both of those sources, while not perfect, are somewhat accurate. Both "agree" with many of your size estimates except for Mapusaurus. I've seen more Mapusaurus estimates between 30 and 40 ft long and 3-5 tons than 40-46 ft and 5-8 tons. Frankly, I don't understand why you say my Mapusaurus estimate is tiny. That's huge no matter what. Maybe not as big as Carcharodontosaurus or Giganotosaurus, but huge nonetheless.

Wikipedia says "over" 33 feet because the largest specimen known from relatively complete remains is only 33 feet. The larger fragmentary individuals are estimated at 43-46 feet based on femur pieces and a pubis that is 10% larger than that of the nearly 13 meter Giganotosaurus holotype, making it at least 43 feet with 47.5 as the upper size estimate.

This is very close, being that they're all very closely related, similar in size and everything. Of course, being a fight writer that has yet to write of these dinosaurs, I cannot voice my opinion at the risk of spoiling the outcome of clashes that could happen in season 3.
