Spinosaurus: Should It Count?

Clearly this animal spent a lot of time in the water, so should it be counted as an aquatic dinosaur instead? Polar Bears for example are, by definition, marine mammals. If you count Spinosaurus as an aquatic dinosaur, not a land one, then it technically couldn't be the biggest LAND carnivore ever. Perhaps a better question would be if it's the biggest carnivorous dinosaur in general(I don't think so, but that's up to debate and you all know how I think). Anyways, this wasn't meant to be a debate on whether it was the biggest theropod and what not, but rather how it should be classified. I'm leaning toward the aquatic dinosaur classification myself(like a Polar Bear is a marine mammal)...
