Re: The 100 Greatest

[Charles Beauchamp <beauking1@yahoo.com>]

If I made my list of the 100 greatest athletes of the century
Chiyonofuji would get strongest consideration.  He is arguably the
best Yokozuna in history (though most older fans probably list
Taiho...Futabayama and others as better), but pure athleticism he may
be the best athlete to ever reach such levels.
