ATGs Tribute thread. Pt 1. Sven Ottke

do you have trouble reading?
I said a couple of American title holders travelled to face him. I didnt say anything about Sven travelling for them and explain how Brewer was past it... Wait for it, Herol will pull a duck and make a further fool of himself. This is Herol who has admitted to commenting on fights and fighters he hasnt seen and knew little of. What a joke

Look at J Toneys career even before he fought Jones in

- SD with a debutant,
- the draw with S Williams
- SD with Sosa
- SD with Johnson
- draw with McCallum
- SD with Tiberi
- MD with McCallum

You forgot Reid there as well, but I couldnt see an arguement for all of those fighters but can for some
All in all Ottke did win and most of those fights I felt he was the winner

Ottke looked a winner in his return with Tate

That was a fight Ottke didnt want, but he still did a good body of work. recall it was a fight Hopkins didnt seem to want either and he did good work also

It is impressive, he was a unified champ who made 21 defences, consider how Froch is fresher in the memory yet some felt he was fortunate against Pascal, Dirrell, faded boiled down G Johnson that Ottke beat clearer when prime and based at SMW, the first Groves result which is 4 decisions in around half the amount of world title fights and not to forget the Adamu fight froch had or the tough fights he had before getting stoppages as well as a couple of losses and not wanting to try and reverse one of the defeats.
I hold Ottke higher with that and would have favoured him for a decision
