Next Yusho Winner?

[ikishima 0]

Eventually somebody else will have to win a Yusho. Who will it be?

[Asojima 2,839]

If Kaio can stay as healthy as he looked in Kyushu, I would go with him. Unfortunately, I don't think so, so at this stage Kotooshu looks most likely.

Asashoryu may get sick injured, bored or simply old.

Or someone simply might be better than Asashoryu. Kotooshu.

Edit: I hope for Kaio though.

I went with Kaio, one for the road. I don't think he will stay healthy for long but if he takes off a few months and comes back at full strength after one of his many injuries, he may still be the second best around. He is capable of going every other basho and I like his chances better than most.

Hakuho ... you heard it first here ladies and gents !!!!

i still have hopes for the boy and i am not getting off the "Hakuho for Yokozuna" bandwagon easily ..

[Asashosakari 16,980]

I voted for Mickey, just because he's due for one of his infrequent Superman tournaments sometime soon, and who knows, with the right timing...

[Asysanyama 0]

Well, keeping Asashoryu AND his records aside, let's look who was the best Makuuchi rikishi the last 4 Bashos:

Tochi:   12-3; 9-6; 10-5; 2-2-11
Taikai:  10-5; 3-6-6; 10-5; 11-4J
Kaio:	5-1-9; 10-5; 0-4-11; 10-5
Oshu: ... LATER
Mickey:  13-2J; 7-8; 9-6; 8-7
Hakuho:  9-6; 6-3-6; 9-6; 9-6
Wakanosato: 6-9; 11-4; 4-3-8; 0-0-15 (Ejemmm, is it serious to have him here? Never got more than 11 wins)
Kise: Naaaa
Bart: Let's him gets first to Maku and Afterwards we may consider him.

And finally... 
OSHU:	10-5; 12-3J; 13-2D; 11-4J (with two Shukunsho's (beating Asa both times), AND two Kantosho's)

If the best results gets the Yusho and we eliminate Asa from equation, it's quite simple to me: KOTOOSHU ! (On the banzuke...)

[Randomitsuki 2,548]

Someone totally unexpected, weird, and ugly. I say: Roho!

hey, that's cool (Dribbling...) , if you hear someone yelling loudly " Rohoooooooooo" in the second week of the basho, it's me (On the banzuke...)

[Fujisan 500]

I say Kotooshu will cement his promotion with a Yusho sometime in 2006.

[hoshidango 0]

Well Kaio wins every 6-12 tournaments wouldn't he? And I don't see his actual Jiriki going down when not injured. So I say Kaio.

[Kashunowaka 269]

I say Kotooshu will cement his promotion with a Yusho sometime in 2006.

His yokozuna promotion?

[ilovesumo 12]

Kyokushuzan the Basho before his intai. in 10 years (Holiday feeling...) (wish dream...)

Hm......I don't know...but If he will get a boost Kotomitsuki might be able to win a Yusho...might be, but I don't really believe in that. (I am not worthy...)

Maybe Futeno? His crisis can't last forever.

Osh? Yes. But when?

Ama, Hakuho- hopefully.

A kettei sen between the 3 Mongolians and Kotooshu would be a great thing- that's what I hope for in future.

Which three? You've got so many to choose from: Asa, Hakuho, Ama, Kyokushuzan, Tokitenku....

[Jonosuke 28]

Since Exil didn't vote, I go with Miyabiyama.

I think he is due....he may lose a few kilos and may perfect that slap-down while backing-down technique made so famous by Taikai.

[ikishima 0]

Miyabiyama, how could I have forgotten? It is always the obvious one.

I don't understand, what do you mean?

[aderechelsea 107]

sarcasm maybe ?

[Tumppi 0]

Ahh, maybe that's it ;-)

[ikishima 0]

Sorry, it was sarcasm. I will have to learn to use emoticons. Although he might drop a few pounds and get hot. ;-)

[Burainoan 0]

I'm going with Osh, and i'm guessing by Natsu at the latest.

[Guest radion]

Someone totally unexpected, weird, and ugly. I say: Roho!

I am his fan but he is not ready yet to win

Well most of us missed this one. Tochiazuma got 10% and I could swear that I don't remember him having anywhere close to that many votes last week.

That is because polls are never closed when they should be. ;-)
