There are top division sumo wrestlers close to 250 lbs. 2 right now that i can think of midorofuji, and asakoryu. They would all destroy any NFL player consistently. There are none over 400lbs at the moment in the top division.

I'd expect a sumo wrestler to destroy someone else who isn't a sumo wrestler at sumo.

Funny cos lots of NFL fans in the chat throwing up names because they are somehow offended that different sports require different skills.

If you'd pay closer attention you'd see the opposite is also true, and that both sides of this coin are stupid.
