The Complex Legacy of Sumo's G.O.A.T. Hakuho Sho

This video essay discusses 69th Yokozuna Hakuho Sho who has conquered almost all significant records in Grand Sumo - the National Sport of Japan. Despite being the most dominant athlete in sumo for most of his career, there is still a debate whether he is the Greatest Sumo Wrestler of All Time. Why are there naysayers to his legacy? I explore this in this video and talk about both sides of the argument while looking back into the amazing 20 years of Hakuho Sho in the dohyo.
