Sven Ottke, the legendary german warrior, who could barely move air molecules with his fists. Undefeated monster with 34 fights and 6 KO's, a whooping 17,647% KO ratio. So, who gonna get the award? Write the most feather fisted fighter, who is at least in top 5 in his division.
Paulie had a ridiculously low knockout percentage I just checked, 7 knock outs from 36 wins Not as bad as Sven, but feather fisted all the same
Ottke has to be one of the most underrated guys today. Ignorants only know stories yet havent seen him fight.
97/98/99... At that moment I was starting to follow the sport. I knew basically nothing about the sport.I had only access to european boxing only. I thought ottke was the best boxer since.... well, since forever. I was always excited when one of his fights was anounced in eurosport, he fought quite often, tbh. Time flies..... I would say it happened yesterday morning... but no.... not at all... EDIT: An honorable mention to markus beyer too. Another one I was always willing to wacth fighting when I only had access to eurosport boxing matches. Miss you, champion.
Nobody could beat him, in Germany... Ottke was a fighter limited as F. As much as I enjoyed learning the sport with his fights. He's pretty much the definition of limited.
Well, Ottke actually was skilled and had fought a lot well known boxers in the same am ranks. Ottke, being from west germany managed to win bronze at World Championship in Moscow, then this was Soviet Union. Not that bad Ottke was. He in am ranks fought vs dudes like Chris Byrd and Erdei, Maske, famous am superstar Hernandez ( Hernandez am resume is not worse than Loma's resume.) Ppl here usually does know about Ottke from maybe just 1-2 his pro fights, exactly really just these famous pro fights with famous "Ottke cards ".
If about famous german cards, ppl usually attempt to attach this to all german based boxers while not all from them get famous german cards. sturm&ottke, while these: maske and DM did not had such kind of german cards. Maske when turned pro in 1990 had 7 pro fights in 1 year, 2 from them in UK, in 1991 : 7 pro fights, 1 from them in US and 1 in France. After this he yeah, fought only in Germany because they needed huge tickets seller.
He had power in the fights he added cement to his gloves, the ones where he wouldnt take them off after the fight.
