I am going to have to disagree with the weight of the mastiff ...

Adult males generally run about 160-230 pounds, females are normally between 120-170 pounds. Males over 200 pounds are not too uncommon and a few females reach these weights. According to the Guinness Book of Records the record holder for the world's largest dog is Zorba, a Mastiff, at 343 pounds. He stood 37 inches at the shoulder and was 8 foot 3 inches from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail. Zorba set this record in November, 1989, when he was 8 years old.

The mastiffs I have seen weigh at least 180 pounds. But the pictures are great! The lion would win against the mastiff anyway, but I still wanted to share that they weigh a lot more than 90 pounds.
