No, the heaviest recorded weight of a black bear is 880 pounds, killed during a legal harvest season in North Carolina in 1999 (or close to that year). I don't have the body measurements.
This answer might be for brown bears or a poor estimate for a big black bear, but is definitely not a recorded weight.
"12 1/2 feet long and weighed an estimated 1600 pounds(Now THAT'S BIG!)"
The largest black bear ever killed was in North Carolina in 1998. The bear weighed 880 pounds. This is a certified record for our state. Our coastal plain bears grow large and fat, due to abundance of soybean fields and corn grown in the area. Recent studies done by Duke University show males in the mountains average only around 370 pounds, while those in our coastal plain averaged 560 pounds.

What is the largest koala in the world?
The world's largest koala is a 14 metre statue at Dadswells Bridge in the Grampians, Victoria. The statue was renamed "Sam" in October 2009. This was in honour of fire victim Sam the koala who was rescued by firefighter David Tree during backburning operations in the week before the Victorian "Black Saturday" bushfires of early 2009. The world was captivated by the pictures of Sam drinking from Mr Tree's water bottle. Unfortunately, due to complications arising from the disease chlamydia, Sam had to be put down several months later.Regarding live koalas: Koalas in the southern regions of Australia are bigger than those from the north. The largest koalas recorded are those from Victoria, attaining a weight of over 10kg, while their northern counterparts average 5.5kg.
