Poking around for information on Hagrid and his possible weight, I found these resources.
Someone did a rough calculation
harry potter - How Big is Hagrid? - Science Fiction & Fantasy Stack Exchange
So then I found this ideal weight calculator, which I used to do my own estimations
Ideal Weight Calculator
Which gave a bunch of numbers for the ideal weight for a 12ft tall person. The high range is between 545.6 lbs - 737.3 lbs
This seems a bit light so I used this calculator to refine the results.
Height Weight Calculator
According to this calculator, if Hagrid is over 737.3lbs, he's considered overweight. As soon as he approaches 900lbs, he's considered obese.
When I input Gregor's stats in, he comes out as just crossing the obese threshold, which shows you that BMI isn't a good indicator of health and shape. It's even worse when you put in the real life Hafthór JúlÃus Björnsson's stats in. But I digress.
My point is to get a more accurate comparison in height and weight. So it looks like if a 12ft man had the same physique as Gregor, we could say he might weigh in around 900lbs. But from what I know, and I'm sure we can all agree, Hagrid is a bit more plump, so his weight would be higher and muscle tone less.
So how much more should Hagrid weight? I'd say 25%-50% more, depending on how "overweight" you think he is. I base this reasoning on a 6'0 200lb man, which is a similar ratio to what Gregor is and a 900lb Hagrid would be. A 6'0 250lb man is a bit out of shape. A 6'0 300lb man is probably a lot out of shape.
So if I did this handwavium right, Hagrid is probably between 1125lbs and 1350lbs.
So it's a roughly 8ft 420lb Gregor against a 12ft 1125lb Hagrid.
So scaling down and keeping the ratios, it's like a 6ft 200lb man vs a 4ft 74lb person.
I suppose it would look something like this.
