He definitely could've picked up a few more yusho. Even now, he's got records that not even Hakuho could make.

Hoshoryu chooses not to reach for the belt at the tachiai. He pushes at the start and grabs the belt after their momentum is halted or gets inside position with arm grips before consolidating to the belt. Uncle/Hakuho/etc. just grab the belt right at the start.
