While adult Wild Boar are formidable in their own right, Leopards have been documented to kill them in some parts of Asia:
1) Although most were juveniles, an adult wild boar was part of the Leopard's diet in Iran:  *This image is copyright of its original author Source: Elmira Sharbafi, Mohammad S. Farhadinia, Hamid R. Rezaie, Alex Richard Braczkowski. (2016) Prey of the Persian Leopard ( Panthera pardus saxicolor ) in a mixed forest-steppe landscape in northeastern Iran (Mammalia: Felidae). Zoology in the Middle East, 1–8. 2) The Sri Lankan Source I posted before mentioned that while there were 3 Sambar Stag killed by the Leopard, there was one adult wild boar killed by a Leopard:  *This image is copyright of its original author Source: Kittle, Andrew et. al.

Edit: I got this from a different forum, but it was to show that a Leopard can kill an adult wild boar.

I know the picture, is from an old romanian hunting magazine.

You can see the photos in the link. https://www.gherlainfo.ro/vanatoare-de-pomina-un-mistret-de-350-de-kg-doborat-duminica/  (05-03-2019, 08:57 PM)eagleman Wrote:(06-25-2014, 08:46 AM)peter Wrote: 1 - Turkey The first photograph, as far as I know, was first posted by Warsaw (now posting at Carnivora) some years ago. He said the photograph was taken in Turkey. I took his word for it. but he could have been mistaken. I know people who were born and raised in the eastern part of Turkey. Some of them still hunt every now and then. They told me eastern Turkey has some wild regions and large wild boars. At the level of averages the Ussuri wild boar is the largest, but wild boars in the southwestern part of central Asia can also grow to a large size. When you say wild boar, you say tiger. The Caspian tiger (Panthera tigris virgata), now extinct, was more or less common in eastern Turkey not so long ago. The people I know tell me they still hear rumours about tigers in eastern Turkey. Same for Afghanistan and a few other regions. The measurements I have suggest Caspian tigers in the southwestern part of their former range could have been a bit larger than those living in the northeastern part. According to the people I talked to, wild boars topped the list of tigers in Turkey. 
Here are two recorded Persian Wild Boar weights.
There was a 260 kg specimen in Iran. Wild Boar weights in Minoo Island, Khuzestan  *This image is copyright of its original author The male average was 109 kg, The female average was 69 kg. The biggest was 260 kg. Wild Boar weights in Golestan National Park  *This image is copyright of its original author The male average was 107 kg. The female average was 86 kg. The largest was 165 kg. source: ASHRAFZADEH, MOHAMMAD REZA, and MARYAM BORDKHANI. "New morphometric data of wild boar (Sus scrofa Linnaeus, 1758) from the Minoo Island (Iran)." ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY1 (2012): 139. Another Wild Boar weight. "it would suggest that S. s. attila occurs in north-western and possibly northern-eastern Iran." source: Sharbafi, Elmira, et al. "Prey of the Persian leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor) in a mixed forest-steppe landscape in northeastern Iran (Mammalia: Felidae)." Zoology in the Middle East 62.1 (2016): 1-8. Here are separate averages for sub-adults of S.s. attila, though these are in Romania.  *This image is copyright of its original author source: Postolache, Alina Narcisa, Marius Mihai Ciobanu, and Paul Corneliu Boișteanu.

One source in Sri Lanka mentioned that Wild Boar males average 110 kg, while females average 55 kg.

Feral Hog have a moderate average, though occasional specimens can surpass the 400 pound mark.
"Average boar and sow weights are about 130 pounds (59kg) and 110 pounds(50 kg), respectively, although the largest adults may weigh more than 400 pounds and be more than 3 feet tall and 5 feet long" source: Mapston, Mark. "Feral hogs in Texas." Texas FARMER Collection (2007).
