I think it would depend on the hog.  If a small hog's (50 lbs) lungs filled up with water, it would be less weight than the water filled lungs of a large hog.  The percentage to the live weight may be the same, but overall pounds would depend on the hog.  I would think only the lungs would fill with water unless their was a puncture to the inside (say the chest cavity). 

This is a really hard question.  I guess you could take a dead hog and add a lot of weight, but too much should be obvious.  If you hung a dead hog on a scale, I imaging you may put up to 25 lbs or more of water in a hog.  If you then tried to take the hog off the scale and drag the hog around or move it, I imagine some of the water would come out somewhere.

If the purpose was to add weight to a tournament, it would be like fisherman adding sinkers or weights inside fish.  Wont be the first or last time.
