When it comes to combining size, weight, and power, sumo wrestlers are high on the list. Konishiki Yasokichi was born in Hawaii, but rose to prominence in the sumo wrestling circuit. At his peak, he weighed 633 pounds. Yasokichi had an impressive career that could have gone further. He reached the second highest rank in sumo wrestling, the highest that any foreign sumo wrestler has ever achieved. He was also a serious contender for being named Yokozuna, the highest and most prestigious rank in sumo wrestling. However, the council that decides who can be Yokozuna turned him down, creating a lot of controversy in the process.
