Re: Wakano-defensive lineman?



How many people on this list have been angered by the talk that football players could come in and wipe the floor with sumo guys at their own game because of their physical strength and the fact that rikishi were fat and slow? 
 
I don't recall anyone such conversation but I could be wrong.  Not many people can compete in two professional sports for all of the reasons outlined in the previous messages.  There are of course exceptions.  Is Hanada an exception?  Who knows?  Only an attempt will show.  I can name on American football player that I would love to step in the ring and whom I think would be a formable challenge, Orlando Pace of the New York Jets (I believe).  He is huge and unbelievable quick and agile.
 
Anyway, I think Hanada could surprise a few people.  Will he make the All-Star in Honolulu, doubtful but he could create quite a challenge to many career football players.
