Manny Yarborough is 6'7" tall, weighs over 700 pounds, and  is a former amateur world champion sumo wrestler.  He tells Steve Paulson about Sumo culture in Japan and says Sumo wrestlers are as limber as ballet dancers. He acknowledges that 700 pounds is too much and says he will take weight off by exercising first in the water. But, he says, Sumos put on good fat, not bad fat.
