I'm with Andre - around 90-100 kg dressed. That would make him maybe 120-130 kg on the hoof.

Ok folks, an intersting observation, the Europeans and Argentinians were the only ones who were close.

Truth be known, I don't know exactly what he weighed because I wasn't able to wieght him...

That said I usually do weigh these things and have done so with many of similar size.

At the most, he would have wieghed 140kg.
At the least, 120kg.

I'll guess 130kg.

There is no trick photography, although I am kneeling about a yard, just under a meter away. These pigs are pure, pure wild (not Russian - that's just a commonly applied name to "sus scrofa")

Wild pigs that are inbred with domestic, or domestic pigs run feral can be heavier, or "denser" if you like for their size.

That big old boar was quite narrow if looked at from above.

Here are some more:

Again, I am set a little way back from him, but you can clearly see the foot holding him up.
This boar was in the 110kg class.

This boar was 110kg. Exactly. Weighed on a digital wool scale.
I would not have though he was so heavy, but you can see his breeding. There is clearly domestic blood here.

.....you don't know! Geeeez!

No trick photography, my butt! You were "behind" it and that changed it a lot from the other "representative" photos.

Oh, well.......

600 lbs. Guys, hogs are very heavy for their size and if this hog is as big as he looks in the picture then I could be under on my guess.
