    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

    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've never seen an Ottke fight and don't think my co-worker has either. We've seen clips of him on Youtube.

    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.....
