800 pounds? If fed really, really well as a pet for many, many years, yes, maybe.
the 200 to 300 lb range top is more expectable.
150 lb - 200 lb more normal.
Charging? (no, not with a credit card, Greg! -- I like that one!).
Mother sows protecting little ones, definitely.
Boars? I have heard from a few folks of being run down or nearly so on a path when a pig was in a full run -- not an act of aggression, just accidental collision. Possible this boar was being pursued by dogs or hunters and was fleeing in fear?
