That is misinformation. At most medieval greatswords weighed around 40 pounds, maybe more for especially large ones. Side swords and other types of blades meant for one-handed use were more like 2-3 lbs, because as said below it won't really be useful if you cross a certain weight limit. In addition to this they were weighted in such a manner that they seemed to weigh even less in your hand. So, the center of balance is placed to an optimal place - for example for swords it's usually closer to the guard of the sword than the center of the blade, this allows for great maneuverability.

I hope you understand that it'd be idiotic to create weapons that weigh 90 pounds. Almost nobody would be able to wield them effectively.
