The blue whale is the Earth's largest mammal as well as the largest organism living today. While their massive size makes it difficult to weigh, whales killed by whalers have been cut up into managable sizes and weighed (however this is a low estimate since blood and fluid are lost). Those weights ranged from 160-190 tons. Not unlike my ex-girlfriend.

Nobody knows. You have to catch it, put it on a scale... Too complicated. Besides, how can we know if we caught the heaviest one?
Anyway, look up "whales" on the Internet. They are supposed to be the heaviest creatures on earth.
