Ok I know this will start a debate but I am ready.

oh yea, I CANT POST PICTURES SO DONT ASK WERE THEY ARE!!!!

1.spinosaurus. (50 to 60 feet long, and 10 to 13 tons.

this may come as a suprise but it shouldn't. Spino was semi aquatic by nature so it had the water to support extra weight. and it is often seen as the largest theropod.

 

2. T.rex/giganotosaurus.( 40 to 50 feet long, 7.5 to 9 tons.)

I have always seen these two as the same size. Since they are very similar in weight and length, though both species have specimens that show otherwise.

 

3.carcharadontosaurus.(40 to 50 feet long, 7 to 8.5 tons.)

Spinosaurus is so heavily debated, I don't care that you put it as heaviest. Opinions vary so damn much that it doesn't matter. Some say Spino was no doubt the heaviest, other say Spino didn't even hit top ten. Whatever, I myself say top four. 

 

Giganotosaurus on the other hand, I say is lighter than Rex by .5 to 1.5 tons. I also think Giga and Carcharodontosaurus were the same size, so they are interchangeable if you ask me.

Is this list just how big you want these theropods to be, or how big you think they were?

Anyway, you brought no evidence for anything whatsoever. Spinosaurus being seen the largest theropod generally is not a point to prove its size. Almost everyone in the media think coelurosaurs aren't feathered, yet, what's the truth?

Dinosteve, Actually, the media is pretty aware that members of coelurisauria are feathered. now, if you're saying ALL were feathered, i'd say that's an unfounded statement.

Some parts of it at least. But the vast general opinion is that dinosaurs were big scary, scaly monsters.

But it's true, the media is slowly starting to accept it.

TYRANT KING - Very interesting! I find the information you have presented on each of the animals you have exhibited in your post to be quite compelling! Do not worry; I will not raise debate over your hypotheses - we each have the right to express our thoughts. Regardless, thank you for sharing this! :)

CARNOSAUR and DINOSTEVE22 - The world needs more fuzzy dinosaurs! ;)

Indeed! :D

By the way Carnosaur, whether or not all coelurosaurs were feathered is still debatable, but it's currently considered by the paleontologic community very likely.

I believe that most theropods and ceratopsians had some form of feathers and quills on their bodies.

 

About Spino's weight, I'd have to estimate 5-6 tons.

I will tell you who is the biggest....

 

 

 

The I-Rex!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

JK!

 

 

 

Nice list, I won't pick and choose, to each their own, you can have your op and I can have mine :D

 

But I do agree with Spino being 1....maybe level with Rex...

 

I don't know XD

You already know what I think about Spinosaurus' weight, so I won't repeat that.

50 feet is quite unfounded for T.rex and large Carcharodontosaurids. I believe that large Carcharodontosaurids were slighty longer due to their longer tails and skulls, but I think that their weight was pretty similar. So, my list would be:

1. Tyrannosaurus/large Carcharodontosaurids: up to 8,000 kg

2. Spinosaurus: 6,000-7,000 kg

On a side note, you said that this is a top 10, yet you only put 4 dinosaurs.

I believe that all the Theropods were feathered, even guys like Spinosaurus and Giganotosaurus. Sauropods were likely feathered (or at least quilled), in my opinion. I think that even Ornitischians were at least partially feathered.

I know, I'm a FeatherNazi.
