@WhoWouldWin13 Konishiki is the heaviest sumo wrestler who ever competed in Japan. He weighed anywhere from 605 to 625 pounds, depending on what he had for breakfast in the morning (He eventually grew heavier!). When one sumo wrestler was asked what it was like to have a match with
@WhoWouldWin13 Konishiki (as well as Akebono, another American-born sumo), the wrestler replied "Great power." Konishiki's power was legendary. This would make him formidable enough, but we have to remember that he was a trained sumo wrestler, and sumo involves Judo-style flips. Thus, he
@WhoWouldWin13 has some legit fighting skills to go with his girth.
But is it enough to stop a 200 pound rabid Saint Bernard?

@WhoWouldWin13 Konishiki does have a serious weight advantage, being three times heavier than Cujo. Along with this, he has an enormous amount of body fat, which can serve as armor against teeth and claws. It would take a while for Cujo to bite all the way through him, and in the meantime,
@WhoWouldWin13 Konishiki can either strike him repeatedly on the head, or grab an object like a rock and crack him on the skull. Indeed, he should shift his weight and fall on Cujo, crushing him.
But does he have the strength to secure victory?

@WhoWouldWin13 I'm about 200-210 pounds. I'm not a small guy, not a colossus either, but if I was suddenly attacked by a dog even a third of might weight ( about 70 pounds), like most people I could be in trouble. This would be especially so if it was a breed known for fighting (pitbull). I
@WhoWouldWin13 would have to land several good kicks, hit a vulnerable spot or go for the eyes to make a dog leg go of my arm. Dogs are a lot stronger than they look, and their bite is highly damaging. I could fight him or her off (depends on the dog), but I'd be messed up for sure.

@WhoWouldWin13 keep this in mind; I'm not built like a sumo wrestler. I'm 6 feet tall and 200-210, and both relatively speaking and absolutely speaking, I don't have anywhere near the same amount of bodyfat that Konoshiki does. I have more muscle compared to fat in my body than Konishiki does.
@WhoWouldWin13 Now imagine a 70 pound dog fighting a 200 pound man who was built like Konishiki? Would such a person have enough strength to fight the dog off? Would his bodyfat be enough to withstand a savage dog attack? One of Konishiki's saving graces here is that, like all sumo wrestlers,
@WhoWouldWin13 he works out with weights. Sumo wrestlers are amazingly strong, building large amounts of muscle underneath their fat. Indeed, their muscles are more efficient than those of a normal obese person's, due to the fact that they don't eat breakfast, instead opting for a large lunch.
@WhoWouldWin13 This makes it to where when they put on weight, the excess body fat doesn't wrap around some muscle fibers, which can inhibit its performance. Hence, Konishiki is a lot stronger than he looks.
But would it be enough?

@WhoWouldWin13 Konishiki's bodyfat could give him time to grab a weapon, fall on Cujo or come up with some other way of taking Cujo down. If he judo flips Cujo, he might ding him enough to follow through by sitting on him. Konishiki has the size, power and intelligence factor to pull this off.
