Heavy weight? Perhaps not (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ton

'heavy weight?' is the definition.
(a ton weighs a lot)

'perhaps not' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'not' is an anagram of 'TON'.

(Other definitions for ton that I've seen before include "1000 kilos" , "Unit of weight equivalent to 2240 pounds" , "Twenty cwt" , "2,240 lbs" , "100 mph, runs, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
