Keep in mind that almost all airlines have a limit of 70 pounds (30 kg) max weight per piece of checked luggage.
This is an occupational safety rule, so that the baggage handlers do not suffer injury when moving the baggage around, and the airlines are quite strict about enforcing it - I have often been stopped and forced to remove something from a suitcase that is perhaps 1 kg over the limit, and that's on a business class ticket...
