Default List of biggest amphibians

I was thinking of the list of biggest amphibians, This was put together by me so tell me if im right.
first being biggest, last being smallest of the biggest if that makes sense XD

1) Giant salamander - Andrias davidianus
2) Goliath frog - Conraua goliath
3) Cane toad - bufo marinus
4) African giant bullfrog - Pyxicephalus adspersa
5) American bullfrog?

Including legs stretched out? I think that cane toads have longer legs then bullfrogs I could be wrong, and if i was going by weight i think afrivcan bullfrog would be second or third.
