Truly, but sumos are pretty versatile. Just takes 'em seconds to win in the ring.

Wow, businessmen have more body fat than sumo wrestlers -- you learn something new every day.

They really are great athletes. I'd love to see this 370 pound football player who can do a front flip get in the ring with some of these guys.
