Doing a comparison (I'm bang on your height and weight) I'd say 250-260lbs, the boy on my back is gutted, so looks a little thin.

Depends on how fat it is, ive had a 228lb and was bigger than that but no fat,and my mate got a 273lb which was clearly bigger, so somewhere between 230lb-260lb if its fat, it looks rather meaty, nice pig
