Not that I'm considering learning the art, but this is something I've wondered for a while. Why are sumo wrestler fat? Obviously, it's better to be heavy to keep oneself from being pushed out of the ring, but muscle weighs more than fat. Wouldn't it make more sense for a sumo wrestler to be built like a power lifter or body builder?

With the weight, once moving in the right direction it is difficult to stop with sheer power and strength alone I would think
