Not exactly the biggest but probably one of the biggest sub-species of lions. The Barbary lions are currently extinct due to extensive hunting, but they are known to be heavier than 200 kgs which is much higher than the known alive species of lions. This suggests that they would have been much bigger than the current African or Asian subspecies.
