I dont think so somehow. Anyway Cap beat The Wrecker at a time when he could lift 40 tons.
Trust me he did it's in a 60's comic reprinted by Marvel in an 80's pocketbook I picked up at a jumble sale.
This isn't that Sumo but there is another one called Kono who first appeared in Marvel Fanfare 11 in 1983 who has also beaten Cap at least in round one.

Well if even if it did it dont mean jack. That is what is known as a low showing, sometimes some writers make characters perform badly.
The fact is Cap is considered to be one of the earths finest combatants and has beaten very powerful opponents on a regular basis.

Gods and sorcerers almost on a par with Doctor Strange most months?
By Com Conan made himself king by his own hand in a world were great warriors were round every corner!

Well how the hell is he going to beat a sorcerer without magic and a god?
Ask Thoth and Kulan Gath, Ask the eater of souls etc. etc. Because he is Conan, Cimmerian, nothing more need be said.
It was General Wo in Tales of Suspense I#61/2 who was the fat Sumo who beat on Cap I was thinking of. Cap beat him second time out.

No this is a debating forum explain how he beat them, not even Cap can beat Dr Strange or Thor. There is no rational explanation of how Conan can beat a god or somebody as powerul as Dr Strange without magic.

Bro I already explained that to you...low showings. Besides DD has beaten both Hercules and Cap at the same time before years ago, that aint gonna happen now.

Conan got owned by some ninjas. For those bringing up Cap struggling with Batroc. And Batroc would own the ninja that gave Conan problems.But anyway Cap 7-8/10
In all fairness Conan written properly would do better than that.
P.S. You seen what we did to the cap respect thread?

And yet he does it every month almost, it doesn't matter whose imprint the book is.

Yeah thats what we call PIS on this forum.
No Mentioning Events of PIS
Plot Induced Stupidity, or PIS, is when characters don't use their abilities or skills to the fullest extent as shown before, even within their personality ranges, for the sake of the story plotline. It makes lesser powered characters an actual challenge against higher powered characters in the comics. Examples of PIS include Flash stories lasting longer than three panels, or Toy Man as a threat to Superman.
Character Induced Stupidity, or CIS, on the other hand, refers to any natural mental limitations that characters impose upon themselves and reduce their ability to use their own skills and powers effectively. Unlike PIS, CIS does not occur because the plot requires it, but because the character is genuinely that dumb. Examples of the CIS-afflicted include characters such as Rhino or Jar Jar Binks. Events of CIS are not exempt from debates.
No SvFL
Spiderman vs. Firelord, or SvFL, is a shorthand that refers to any time when a character performs a feat that their powers and skills should be blatantly insufficient for, and is not repeated or is rarely repeated again relative to the character's overall established career, as well as the character's opponents' established showings. In statistical terms, it is an outlier, something that is radically beyond the character's established capabilities. For example, Spiderman defeating a herald of Galactus is a case of the SvFL exemption; however, Batman being able to sneak up on Superman is not because he has done so frequently under different writers.
For standard debates, feats considered to fall under the SvFL exemption are not valid. Likewise, examples of writing which go against firmly set canon are also ignored. For example, in Larry Hama's run of Batman and Grell's run of Iron Man, both characters were out of character and did things very much against established canon; therefore those runs are disregarded.
