@Surrix What principle was Ottke upholding when he fought Reid? And yes, he was complicit with what happened in that bout given his behavior in the ring.
What from this. Canelo too had failed: he get gifted draw vs GGG and is proud about this. Ottke at least didn't had cherry picked old opponents and put them on catchweight and bunches with clauses. So yeah, I will respect Ottke more than Canelo even if Ottke had 0-200 pro boxing record. Canelo and his fangirls are cool stuff. Big boxing star Clen and fangirls.
Ottke wins when referee Roger Tillerman disqualifies Clenelo for repeatedly landing punches on Das Phantom!
I thought you were defending Ottke, were you not? This has nothing to do with Canelo even though you sure do love to insert him wherever you can.
No way this fight ends anywhere but in the graveyard. Canelo would kill otke in the ring. Not even close.
am i the only one who realizes you're comparing arguably the P4P king in boxing right now with a guy who didn't fight anyone? didn't fight calzaghe, didn't fight kessler (the two most accomplished SMW's while ottke was active), but suddenly he's a legit opponent for canelo? pu-lease...
no, he cherry-picked ALL his opponents. if the boot fits, wear it. joe calzaghe and mikkel kessler say 'hi'.
Ottke was a top class defensive styled boxer while still in his prime. His resume was second to none. He fought almost the entire top ten, often twice. He's the ultimate slow motion re-watch type of fighter meaning that the nuance and skill was often difficult to catch at first glance. It's all quite subtle, but effective. Of course, later in his career, while a shot fighter, he had a much more difficult time.
Canelo fight in GERMANY ??? ROFL !!! You'd have more chance of swimming the Atlantic than that happening. Though I'd love to see it & watch Ginger get the shaft himself for once. old Ginger aint got the balls
Yeah and when boxers had fought vs boxers previously defeated by Otkke this usually is overlooked for a reason. 2001: Mundine fights vs Ottke! Ottke win via KO. 2005: Mundine fights vs Kessler. Kessler won via UD12. Interesting is opinion that Ottke might be with bad? resume cos he did not had fought vs Kessler. No one accuses Kessler for fighting vs guy already 4 years ago finished in distance by the same Ottke who according to Ottke haters opinion " had fought no one" 2018: Mundine fights vs Jeff Horn. Some posters just does not know how good Ottke was and on regular basis insist " Ottke fought no one " etc bull****.
