[sumo] How about Hakuho?

[Charles Beauchamp]

My impression of Hakuho is that he is a very very
talented Rikishi who would make a very very good
strong solid Ozeki right now.  He has earned his
promotion obviously but as far as carrying the torch
he is very not ready.  Seems to me that this is the
great opportunity for someone like Kotomitsuki or
Chiyotaikai to make a run for the Tsuna.
