Sven Ottke HOF worthy?

well, i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you really mean this in which case i applaud your conviction.

i respectfully disagree: 1)i feel he fought **** competition. not poor comp, but **** 2) the only times he fought about c- level fighters, he lost

not the best credentials to enter the HOF. things like bought judges and refs should factor into the equation, not a shiny record built of lies, deceipt and a stream of jobbed opponents

 

not even close

 

no no no no

 

First ballot.

had just as good a career as Calzaghe.

 

Just because of your own bias.

 

Yes, as much as Calzague and Floyd.

 

Your co-worker must like gift decisions and referees that call legitimate knockdowns slips.

Ottke in the hall would a disgrace.

 

I bet most people commenting on here haven't even seen one Ottke fight

 

I have.

trust me... he's ****.

 

These guys won fights.

Ottke never faced a boxer alone.

 

Give it up, the brits just hate Ottke because of the one fight. No chance for rational discussions. :-(

 

He's not the sort of fighter you would actively look to watch, unless you are looking to die of boredom.

 

When you watch boxing for pure enertainment that's probably true. I don't see boxing as entertainment though.

Apart from that, why comment and hate on a fighter you never saw and only heard stories about?

 

He was nothing but a paper champion who hid in his backyard. Should have at least a couple L's on his record too.....
