A comparison of the Big Four

 Good job on this if you ask me. If this was from someone who has no clue what they're taking about, I probably would have asked if they were testing me. Good job again.

No offense, but this looks nearly identical to Wikipedia :/

Well, In my opinion, this should be stickied or something. It's not biased, it doesn't say anything along the lines: ' blabla was definitely the largest and strongest because...'. I like it.

@rexfan, That's because i'm not close to finished. Y'all are gonna need to read back through it as soon as im done editing....i don't have word any more.. so unfortunately i have to repost and edit things..

The highest theropod woud've probably been Spinosaurus (if we include the sail).

Good job. This all very accurate in my opinion. Good job again.

I didn't see that last part, but I agree with it.

@gojira thanks...this took a whole night of research to complete..along with my somewhat basic knowledge of these guys.

@mr.Happy, i had alot of editing and what not to do, decided last minute to add that in.

I agree with almost everything you've posted, except spino's wieght. I put Spino's weight at 11-14.5 tons, Rex's at 8-9 tons, Carchara at 8-8.9 tons, and Giga at 8-8.6.

while i don't agree with that all the way, i like you posted your opinion.i also posted the weight study that spino weighed in that range, and while i don't agree with it..mainly because spinosaurs were light weight animals....ithey're the professionals. I'm the guys with a laptop who just has a passion :)

I guess my "issue" is how a Carcharodontosaurus can be 13 meters long and 15 tons(according to some) and a T. rex is only 12 meters long and 9 tons at most. A meter difference should not create that big of a weight difference, especially when T. rex is a particularly robust and heavily built animal.

These Are My Official Sizes For Some Of The Largest Theropods(Same On My Site)

Tyrannosaurus

13-15 meters long and 8-14 tons

Spinosaurus

14-17 meters long and 5-8 tons

Giganotosaurus

12-14 meters long and 6-8.5 tons

Carcharodontosaurus

11-12 meters long and 5-7 tons

Mapusaurus

10-12 meters long and 3-5 tons

Tyrannotitan

11-12 meters long and 5-6 tons

Acrocanthosaurus

10-12 meters long and 3-5 tons

Tarbosaurus

10-12 meters long and 5-6 tons

Suchomimus

10-11 meters long and 3-3.5 tons

Saurophaganax

9-12 meters long and 3-4 tons

Ekrixinatosaurus

10-11 meters long and 3-4 tons

all i have to say is thank you. Thank you for bringing this forward, i've been observing the last few days..i could tell a war was probably cooming on..hopefully people see this and realize it's pointless...I second the motion of sticky-ing this, like UCMP said.

And RexFan...i agree with your weights for the most part

I agree with most of Rex Fan's weights as well.

Stickied it for you guys.

As a side note, please don't go crazy asking us to sticky things for you guys. I know some of these posts can be important, cool, and what have you, but we can't go to nuts with this.

Thanks

I thloguht that this should be stickied because it has unbiased and accurate information on all of the Big 4. So it's a lot more effective than stickying 4 indepedent posts. (and there have been at least two posts on every single member of the Big 4)

I know. This wasn't directed at anyone in particular. I'm just saying MrHappy and I can't go stickying every topic someone thinks might be worth it. There are times where it is worth it. But as Ian Malcom said, "You wield that power like a kid that just found his dad's gun." We can't be that kid ;)

I agree with Rex fan. T-Rex is the king of the dinosaurs in my opinion. They were trying their best in JP3 but they should have never let de Spino kill the T-Rex. 

Thanks.

Also, as a side note...

Carnosaur, I'm kinda surprised you excluded UCMP 118742. Just something I noticed. I thought that would've been something important that should be taken into account. A 16 year old T. rex already as big as Sue is quite something afterall. Nothing against the post itself. I just thought you'd include it :)

For a second there, I thought you're talking about me. :P

i knew i was forgetting one of them fragmentary giants...oh well..

Glad you guys liked the post. Now, new members can see it when they attempt to bring the war back..

As a side note, would you guys like to see a bonus fight today? I'm thinking Zhuchengtyrannus vs the animal of your choice :)

Zhuchengtyrannus vs. Mapusaurus, because why not?

i thaugt/pretty sure giganotosaurus

is the largest theropod

nope. That's a common misconception based on exaggerated skull measurements and a leg bone which was 'larger then Sue's' When, in reality, other leg bones, were smaller then Sues. It is my belief that Rex is larger then giga

I agree with Carnosaur on that one. Lighter at least, maybe shorter in length too.

Oxalia was bigger than T. rex. In fact, it was second only to  Spinosaurus.

Scientifically, larger means heavier. I'm assuming you mean lengthwise Oxalia is longer than Rex and second to Spino. That said recent studies put Spino at 55% LIGHTER (not heavier) than Spino, and until a few years back, the Spino fossils found were accepted to be from a 50 foot long individual, and only recently has that 60 foot long stuff been claimed. 

that dubious spinosaur out of south america? the one with very little fossil remains recovered?

sorry...but everything i've read (and studied) do not put it any where past the big four i have listed.

Based on the scant finds, the skull of Oxalaia has been estimated at around 4.4 feet. not even larger then that of the biggest Rex's. Furthermore, a length estimate of around 11-12 meters and 6 tons is big, not "big four" big, but still an impressive animal.

Yeah, Oxalia is often said to be about 36-43 ft long and 4-6 tons(from what I've seen). The biggest size I've seen is 50 ft, but it only gave a weight of 7 tons, still lighter than the biggest Tyrannosaurus'.
