dada78641 884 Posted April 6, 2017 To me probably the most amazing record I know is the win ratios: Name Win-Loss Years rate 1 Taihō 746-144 1960-1971 83.8% 2 Futabayama 276-68 1932-1945 80.2% 3 Asashōryū 596-153 2001-2010 79.6% 4 Haguroyama 321-94 1937-1953 77.3% 5 Kitanoumi 804-247 1972-1985 76.5% This is copy-pasted from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sumo_record_holders#Modern_era Hakuho is at 84.5% now - a while ago he was at 85%. He's past his peak, so it will likely go down a little before he retires, maybe it will be a real race to see if he or Taiho ends up having the best win record in modern history.

If Hakuho wants to extend his career two more years, He may win two or perhaps three championships, but his ratio will drop considerably. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frakazu 22 Posted April 6, 2017 On 28/3/2017 at 07:55, WAKATAKE said: Most Basho as Yokozuna 1. 63 - Kitanoumi 2. 59 - Chiyonofuji 3. 58 - Taiho 3. 58 - Hakuho No doubt Hakuho will want this record too. Just one year, six honbasho. Bus his win ratio will drop. Between 'Most basho as Yokozuna' and the win ratio record, I think Hakuho willl prefer the 'Most basho as Yokozuna' record. So he will not retire for at least one year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's past his peak, so it will likely go down a little before he retires, maybe it will be a real race to see if he or Taiho ends up having the best win record in modern history. This record is for Makuuchi only which I doubt he would set any great store by. Include lower divisions and he's already behind Taiho and extremely unlikely to catch up as it would take a number of zensho yusho to do. Yusho, Total basho and total wins would seem more important. I don't think records will play much into his decision to retire anyway. Even if he doesn't miss any more tournaments this year due to injury and manages to average better than 10 wins per basho if he fails to win a yusho this year he won't last long into next year IMO. There is a very significant chance in my opinion that all 3 Mongolian Yokozuna will be retired by this time next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Harumafuji and kakuryu retire in may (which they will.), will Terunofuji be promoted if he gets zensho? Edited April 6, 2017 by PawnSums Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's zero chance any of the 3 retire before Aki and I doubt anyone will win a zensho yusho this year. Given Terunofuji's instability I doubt even that would get him promoted.

orandashoho 720 Posted April 7, 2017 Hakuho is still a formidable yokozuna and well deserved record holder. I am amazed how well he has been able to hide what clearly must be serious health problems that forced him to change his sumo and knocked him off the lonely position at the top. He may still be the best yokozuna of all times, but if he is not the best yokozuna on the banzuke he will not be opening any Olympic games. I am sure that he knows that this honour will be given to a Japanese Yokozuna higher on the banzuke, and will retire when that becomes certain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That gives him 1263 consecutive matches, enough to enter the Top 10 and bump Otsukasa off the list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
