    No offence is intented,but Ottke was a living sleeping pill whose fights made me get bored silly.

    Ottke was a plague for the sore eyes of us fight fans.A sprinter who hit and ran stealing rounds and winning boring point decisions.

    Well,without any doubt he was a very capable boxer,but his style was horrible to watch.

    I put myself through an arduous Sven Ottke marathon once to see about the preconception that nearly every fight he was in was a gift.

    I found that was not true...often far from it and concluded it was mostly a myth brought about by a controversial start and finish to his title career...with several close fights in between where he often did just enough to get the nod, knowing thats all he needed to do.

    I never want to do that again though...I really really do not enjoy watching Ottke fight.

    Wonder if OP has considered the possibility that he just isn't all that keen on boxing?

    WOW this is one of the hardest questions ive seen on this forum lately.. Seriously...

    The slapper VS Ottke...

    Ottke is dreadful but i can't stand Calzaghe's slapping style either so im going to call it a DRAW.. They're equally boring ass **** and i never wanna see Calzaghe comeback...

    This is an interesting thread for a NOOB imo...

    Personally, Ive always thought that Calzaghe was boring as hell because of his pity pat style.. I can't stand watching him slap n **** instead throwing proper punches..
