Re: Sumu versus Judu
I always love to root for the underdogs in sumo. Terao only weighed ~260 lbs, but successfully fought in the makuuchi division for years. Here he is against 600 lb Konishiki...

Yokozuna Chiyonofuji, one of the greatest sumo wrestlers in history, was only ~280lbs. Amazing stuff.

If y'all ever make it to Tokyo, try to go in January, May, or September and spend a day at the Kokugikan. It's 9 hours of wrestling, beer, and grub. (Cheap too.)

Chiyonofuji was a favorite. Wakanohana too.
